This work reviews state of the art representative volume element (RVE) generation
techniques for heterogeneous materials. To this end, we present a systematic classification …

The aim of this paper is to characterise the fibre orientation in unidirectional fibre reinforced
polymers, namely glass and carbon fibre composites. The compression strength of the …

Being able to measure the fiber orientation distribution in the injection-molded composite
parts is of considerable importance, since the distribution locally affects the mechanical and …

The sudden compressive failure of unidirectional (UD) fibre reinforced composites at loads
well below their tensile strengths is a cause of practical concern. In this respect and more …

Due to their lightweight, relatively high stiffness properties, and formability into complex
shapes, discontinuous fiber composites are advantageous for producing small and medium …

Composite materials have become widely used in engineering applications, in order to
reduce the overall weight of structures while retaining their required strength. In this work, a …

Valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) battery constitutes towards the largest part of the
worldwide secondary battery market share. Indisputably, absorptive glass mat (AGM) is a …

This paper reports the first study on centrifugal spinning of PHBV fibres. Fibres were spun
from solution using a range of polymer concentrations, spin speeds and spinneret to …

Needle-punching conditions determine the structure of nonwoven fabrics and the structure
determines their tensile properties. However, the structural parameters of nonwoven fabrics …

We investigate, by means of pore-scale lattice Boltzmann simulations, the mechanisms of
interception of respiratory droplets within fibrous porous media composing face masks. We …
