Polymer composite laminates have established themselves as essential materials across a
wide type of industrial fields because of their specific mechanical properties such as high …

The use of glass fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites in load-carrying constructions
has significantly increased over the last few decades. Such GFRP composite structures may …

Abstract Failure processes in Laminated Fiber-Reinforced Composites (LFRCs) entail the
development and progression of different physical mechanisms and, in particular, the …

A high-fidelity finite element (FE) model based on integrated discrete and continuum
damage modeling techniques was developed to predict damage modes, locations, sizes …

In this study, carbon fiber/epoxy (CF/EP) composites were interleaved with polyamide-6, 6
(PA 66) nonwoven veils at two different areal weight densities (17 and 50 gsm) to improve …

Aerospace-grade unidirectional carbon microfiber reinforced epoxy prepreg composite
laminates were reinforced in the relatively weak interlaminar regions with high densities (> …

R-curve and traction-separation relation are commonly used to characterize the fiber
bridging, which is significant toughening mechanism in composite laminates. Current …

This study focuses on develo** and validating a high-fidelity finite element model for
predicting damage evolution and residual strength in fiber-reinforced composite panels …

A numerical computational framework that combines a phase field model (PFM) and
cohesive element (CE) for modelling progressive failure in composite material is proposed …

In this study, carbon fiber–epoxy composites are interleaved with electrospun polyamide‐6,
6 (PA 66) nanofibers to improve their Mode‐I fracture toughness. These nanofibers are …
