This review paper provides a recent overview of current international research that is being
conducted into the functional properties of cellulose as a nanomaterial. A particular …

Glasses have numerous applications because of their exceptional transparency and
stiffness; however, poor fracture, impact resistance, and mechanical reliability limit the range …

The state-of-the-art process for additive manufacturing of continuous-fibre reinforced
polymers is fused filament fabrication (FFF), which has potential for reproducing robust and …

Large data sets of fibre mechanical properties were acquired using automated single fibre
tensile testing equipment to improve the reliability of the measurements on T700S, 34-700 …

The determination of ply properties of Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) for particular
operational environmental conditions in aeronautical applications is mandatory in order to …

Artificial spider silk has emerged as a biobased fiber that could replace some petroleum-
based materials that are on the market today. Recent progress made it possible to produce …

Initial fibre misalignment is recognised to be one of the precursors leading to longitudinal
compressive failure in fibre-reinforced composites. Thus, to properly model their mechanical …

Helicoidal laminates mimicking the shells of mantis shrimp crustaceans have been found to
be able to bear higher loads than conventional laminate configurations primarily through …

Order reduction of woven composite materials is based on the definition of short fibre
reinforced matrix material pseudo-grains completed by pure matrix parts. The former ones …

A computational micromechanics (CMM) model is developed to analyze fiber kinking, which
is a failure mechanism that takes place in fiber-reinforced composites when they are loaded …
