Developed from the author's course on advanced mechanics of composite materials, Finite
Element Analysis of Composite Materials with Abaqus® shows how powerful finite element …

To minimize the carbon production from the cement industry, geopolymers are the suitable
replacement cementitious materials in concrete structures. Furthermore, glass fiber …

This work demonstrates the potential of manufacturing variable-angle composite cylinders
via filament winding (FW), called VAFW. The proposed design strategy allows different …

Composites are becoming materials of the future. Composite applications have become
popular in the air as airframes in the aerospace industry to the deepest seas in the form of …

Meso-damage mechanics differs from continuous damage mechanics, which pays more
attention to the evolution of meso-structure in materials. It combines physical and …

The main objective of this research is to predict burst pressure of composite pressure
vessels subjected to internal pressure taking into account manufacturing uncertainties …

This paper focuses on quantification of damage mechanisms in Standard Open-Hole
Tensile (OHT) laminated composites using Acoustic Emission (AE) and Finite Element …

This study examines a new approach to facilitate the convergence of upcoming user-
subroutines UMAT when the secant material matrix is applied rather than the conventional …

Thick composite laminates are often required in marine applications to resist high
hydrodynamic forces. In this work, damage in thick glass-fibre/epoxy laminates caused by …

The paper deals with estimating the load capacity of thin-walled composite columns with C-
shaped cross-section subjected to uniform compression. The discussed columns were made …
