This paper deals with the application of micromechanics for the determination of lamina
effective properties. Micromechanical models can be considered as the first step of the …

For unidirectional laminae, five elastic properties and six strengths are usually required. The
goal of this paper is to evaluate if the out-of-plane shear strength is really an independent …

This study addresses the challenge of directly measuring the mechanical and geometrical
properties of the interphase region in multiphase microstructures due to its small volume …

A novel analytical model is proposed for the in-plane shear response of unidirectional
composites on account of fiber-matrix interface. The fiber-matrix interface influences the …

Unidirectional laminae subjected to in-plane shear loads present complex behavior with
strong nonlinear response. A novel analytical model is proposed considering a unit cell with …

For unidirectional laminates, four properties are required for mechanical characterization
regarding the laminae elastic response: the longitudinal elastic modulus, the transverse …

Tsai's modulus was proposed as a trace theory for CFRP, where only one property is
measured experimentally and the other four properties are computed using the normalized …

The paper illustrates the effect of temperature on composite material properties and its
influence on the response of composite plates. Two composites considered include laminae …

The performance of composite materials and structures at high-velocity impacts reaching or
exceeding their ballistic limit is crucial for assessing their strength and safety in aerospace …

This study investigates the development and characterization of ceramic rod-reinforced
TWIP (twinning-induced plasticity) steel matrix composites, produced using the lost foam …
