In this study, we propose a mechanical model for Polyamide 6 (PA6) having different
crystalline structures. Our latest experimental study on the tensile tests of PAs obtained from …

Under fatigue-loading, short-fiber reinforced thermoplastic materials typically show a
progressive degradation of the stiffness tensor. The stiffness degradation prior to failure is of …

This paper experimentally studied the impact behavior of hybrid basalt-macro synthetic
polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete under impact loads (10 1–10 2/s) with a split …

To investigate the effectiveness of today's analytical methods and to improve the robustness
assessment methodologies for reinforced concrete (RC) structures impacted by missiles, an …

A new methodology combining Weibull functions and the real mineral composition of granite
is proposed, which overcomes the shortcomings of using existing methods for the …

This paper aims to present a Continuum Damage Mechanics based fracture model. Two
yield surfaces, plastic and damage, are utilized to develop the model. A modified ductile …

Self-compacting concrete is one of the special concretes that flow in its own weight, which is
used in the densely reinforced concrete structures. This concrete requires higher binder …

A reduced strain gradient crystal plasticity theory which involves the gradient of a single
scalar field is presented. Rate-dependent and rate-independent crystal plasticity settings are …

A numerical approach combining finite element modeling and machine learning is used to
inform the material performance of an alumina ceramic tile undergoing high-velocity impact …

This work aimed to develop effective data-driven approaches to forecast the stress–strain
curves of Al6061-T6 aluminum alloy base material and welded using Friction Stir Welding …
