This paper proposes a robust design approach, based on eroded, intermediate and dilated
projections, to handle uniform manufacturing uncertainties in stress-constrained topology …

In the present report some basic issues of and some of the modeling strategies used for
studying static and quasistatic problems in continuum micromechanics of materials are …

Using digital material twins reveals the fabric architectures of woven composites and details
the morphological features of fiber tows and defects, which makes a unique approach to …

An ad hoc methodology for voxel-based geometry reconstruction is proposed. The
reconstruction procedure outlined is fully automated and allows transforming explicit voxel …

Abstract 3D angle interlock woven fabric usually needs to produce pre-deformation to meet
the requirements of the complex shape of the target configuration. This cause the internal …

Spectral method based on Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT) is developed to study the
mechanical properties of three-dimensional (3D) braided composites with complex internal …

The mechanical behaviour and progressive damage of two-dimensional plain woven carbon-
epoxy fabrics is modelled at different length scales, taking into account the geometric and …

A meso-scale modelling framework is proposed to simulate the 3D woven fibre architectures
and the mechanical performance of the composite T-joints, subjected to quasi-static tensile …

Tow-based discontinuous composites manufactured with ultra-thin tapes display high
stiffness, strength, and in-plane isotropy, thus competing with composite laminates. Their …

This work introduces a distributed memory machine and octree-based Finite Element (FE)
framework for modeling metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes. In this sense, an …
