In this work, a numerical multi-scale failure analysis of locally periodic fiber-reinforced
composites is carried out. To this end a two-scale finite element continuum approach is …

In this work an innovative multiscale model able to perform complete failure analyses of fiber-

A simple modeling is proposed to estimate the elastic-plastic behavior of two-phase isotropic
composites made of interpenetrated co-continuous phases. This nonlinear modeling …

This paper reveals the role of interfacial rigidity in a fiber reinforced polymer (FRP)
composite to crack propagation path and its reinforcement, investigated by simulating a …

ABSTRACT A shear-lag analysis is performed to investigate the interfacial debonding in
graphene-reinforced polymer nanocomposites. The interface behavior is simulated using a …

Defects in terms of three-dimensional voids are commonly encountered at bi-material
interfaces. In the current study, the singular stress field near the circumferential corner line of …

The effects of carbon fiber–epoxy interfacial strength on the mechanical properties of the
corresponding fiber-matrix composites are experimentally demonstrated in this work. Two …

Competition of a crack and two debondings at the interface of a circular rigid inclusion in an
infinite elastic body is analyzed under uniaxial loading in the x and y directions, respectively …
