Continuous, one-dimensional (1D) stretchable conductors have attracted significant
attention for the development of wearables and soft-matter electronics. Through the use of …

Fibre-hybrid composites are composed of two or more fibre types in a matrix. Such
composites offer more design freedom than non-hybrid composites. The aim is often to …

The development of strain sensors featuring both ultra high sensitivity and high stretchability
is still a challenge. We demonstrate that strain sensors based on fragmented single-walled …

The introduction of the spread-tow thin-ply technology enabled the development of
composite plies as thin as 0.020 mm. The availability of composite plies with a broader …

A multi-scale computational analysis based on representative volume element (RVE)
modeling and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations is developed to investigate the …

A data-rich framework is presented to consistently characterise the macroscopic strain-
softening response of laminated composites subjected to compressive loading. First, a …

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

Numerical simulations can help in the understanding of the damage sequence of polymer
based composite laminates during an impact event, which is a difficult experimental task …

The Mode I, Mode II, and mixed-mode interlaminar failure behavior of a thin-ply (54 gsm)
carbon fiber-epoxy laminated composite reinforced by 20 μm tall z-direction-aligned carbon …

Thick unidirectional fiber reinforced RTM6 epoxy resin specimens were processed by resin
transfer molding and tested in transverse compression. Homogenized response from …
