Since eco-friendly, labor-saving construction technologies are urgently needed than ever,
concrete 3D printing technology has gained increasing attention. However, there are still …

A numerical framework was developed in this study to investigate the influence of relevant
Extrusion Deposition Additive Manufacturing (EDAM) processing conditions on the final fiber …

A particle-level simulation method is employed to study the dynamics of flowing suspensions
of rigid and flexible fibers. Fibers are modeled as chains of prolate spheroids connected …

The manufacturing process of Sheet Molding Compounds (SMC) induces a reorientation of
fibers during the flow, which influences local properties and is of interest for structural …

The motion of flexible fibres suspended in an incompressible fluid is of interest to
researchers in a wide variety of fields, including reinforced composite materials …

An algorithm combining Micro-CT slice auxiliary calibration and kinematic modeling method
