Modelling and simulation techniques are now considered an essential practice for the
materials industry. In order to gain insight into factors that can affect the final properties of a …

Interphase regions that form in heterogeneous materials through various underlying
mechanisms such as poor mechanical or chemical adherence, roughness, and coating, play …

The paper is concerned with the derivation of a general imperfect interface law in a linear
multiphysics framework for a composite, constituted by two solids, separated by a thin …

Copper-matrix composites reinforced with silicon carbide (SiC) particles are heat sink
materials with potential application in the electronic industry. A major challenge in the …

We predict the thermal conductivity of polymer-matrix composites accounting for the
interface conductance. We also study the influence of different fillers, ie spherical, cylindrical …

This paper reviews several leading approaches for asymptotic modelling of thin layers in
elastostatics and wave propagation phenomena. The issues related to applications of the so …

In this paper, an enriched FEM technique is employed for thermo-mechanical contact
problem based on the extended finite element method. A fully coupled thermo-mechanical …

A well-established methodology to capture interphases in heterogeneous materials is to
replace them by a zero-thickness interface model. Commonly accepted interface models …

The mechanics of structure genome has been extended to heat conduction problem of
composite materials with a general linear thermal imperfect interface model. This full field …

We investigate some mathematical and numerical methods based on asymptotic
expansions for the modeling of bonding interfaces in the presence of linear coupled …
