Innovations of advanced materials have been at the core of most engineering technologies,
devices and systems. Composite laminates in particular have been extensively employed in …

In this study ring bending tests on plates are performed to analyze the tensile strength of tin
and air sides of float glass. Fracture stress values computed from experimental data …

A phase field model for anisotropic, elastoplastic fracture model in layered structures
obtained by 3D printing processes is proposed. An extension of anisotropic phase field to …

Laminated glass is composed of glass and interlayer, and it is sensitive to impact actions
which usually lead to fracture and fragmentation with high nonlinearity and strong …

Recent decades have witnessed a growing interest in simulating interfacial debonding in
laminated structures using cohesive zone (CZ)-based algorithms. In the present work, we …

In a frontal pedestrian–vehicle collision, the head of an adult pedestrian normally impacts
the windshield region of a vehicle, which is the main source of severe head injury. The …

In a simulation model of the process of corn straw crushing, its physical parameters and the
model itself influence the accuracy of the numerical calculations of the discrete element …

The mechanical behaviour and failure mechanism of highly particle-filled polymer
composites (HPFPCs) with different particle morphologies over a wide range of strain rates …

This study presents a combined experimental and analytical study on the impact response of
multi-layered laminated glass (MLG) under low-velocity hard body impact before glass …

Although the intrinsic cohesive zone models (CZMs) have become a popular approach for
interfacial cracking analysis in laminated composite structures, they suffer from the so-called …
