Abstract Additive Layer Manufacturing (ALM) process is used in the present investigation to
manufacture long fibre reinforced composite parts using the MarkOne® 3D-printer. In ALM, a …

This paper presents a comprehensive review of the current state-of-the-art computational
modeling techniques for predicting debonding processes and interface failures in fiber …

Recent advancements on the variational approach to fracture for the prediction of complex
crack patterns in heterogeneous materials and composite structures is herein proposed, as …

The effect of porosity on the transverse mechanical properties of unidirectional fiber-
reinforced composites is studied by means of computational micromechanics. The …

Microvoids are common defects generated during manufacturing or prolonged services of
composites. Depending on the local physical environment, microvoids may form as two …

The plane strain problem of a single circular cylindrical inclusion embedded in an
unbounded matrix subjected to a remote uniform uniaxial transverse tension is studied. A …

This paper presents a consistent anisotropic damage model for laminated fiber-reinforced
composites relying on the 3D-version of the Puck failure criterion. The current model is …

A new approach is presented for generating random distribution of fibres in the
representative volume element (RVE) of fibre reinforced composite laminates. The approach …

The behavior of the fiber–matrix interface under transverse tension is studied by means of a
new linear elastic–brittle interface model. Similar models, also called weak or imperfect …

One of the most important issues about the behaviour of composite materials subjected
different loading conditions is the initiation and propagation of various damage modes …
