Since the beginning of the industrial age, material performance and design have been in the
midst of innovation of many disruptive technologies. Today's electronics, space, medical …

Composite materials and structures are inherently inhomogeneous and anisotropic across
multiple scales. Multiscale modelling offers opportunities to understand the coupling of …

This study presents a novel approach to manufacturing carbon fiber and carbon nanotube-
reinforced PEEK hybrid composites (CF/CNT/PEEK) using compression molding. The hybrid …

Fibre reinforced composite materials are showing sustained growth in an ever widening
range of applications from food trays to spacecraft as well as contributing to resolving …

This paper reviews the recent developments in the field of multiscale modelling of
heterogeneous materials with emphasis on homogenization methods and strain localization …

There is no denying the profound changes that our planet has seen since the advent of the
twentieth century. Chief among these are the dramatic developments in all things derived …

The carbon fiber/polymer matrix interphase region plays an important role in the behavior
and failure initiation of polymer matrix composites and accurate modeling techniques are …

A multiscale approach comprising laminate-scale finite-element (FE) analysis and fiber-
diameter-scale periodic unit cell (PUC) analysis was developed to predict matrix …

Several modelling approaches are available in the literature to predict longitudinal tensile
failure of fibre-reinforced polymers. However, a systematic, blind and unbiased comparison …

This paper presents an extension of Direct FE^ 2 FE 2 method for the study of dynamic
problems in heterogeneous materials. The proposed method can be formulated based on …
