The automated fiber placement process (AFP) enables the manufacturing of large and
geometrical complex fiber composite structures with high quality at low cycle times. Although …

This paper presents a multi-scale progressive damage modeling strategy to investigate the
damage and failure behaviors of 2D woven composites. The micro-scale and meso-scale …

Solid oxide cells can deliver highly efficient energy conversions between electricity and
fuels/chemicals. A central challenge of upscaling solid oxide cells is the probability of failure …

In this paper a micromechanical model considering PyC interphase thermal conductance
and manufacture-induced voids is proposed to predict the thermal conductivities of plain …

In this study hierarchical micromechanical modeling is presented for prediction of the elastic
properties of 2D needled carbon/carbon (C/C) composites. The modeling is based upon the …

A coupled micro–meso-scale modeling strategy is proposed to investigate the damage
mechanism of 2D SiC/SiC ceramic matrix composites. The multi-scale modeling begins with …

In this paper effective medium theory based on Clausius–Mossoti relation was used to
predict dielectric properties of multiphase composite system. The composite consisted of E …

The composite bistable structures discussed in this paper consist of a material-based
mechanism with a saw-tooth strain/stress curve. They have a more damage-tolerant …

In this study, a micromechanical model is presented for prediction of the time dependent
relaxation modulus of plain weave polymer matrix composites. This model is based upon the …

The load-bearing cementitious materials such as concrete rely on passive insulation to resist
heat in fire and other high-temperature events. This study introduces a novel load-bearing …
