Interphase regions that form in heterogeneous materials through various underlying
mechanisms such as poor mechanical or chemical adherence, roughness, and coating, play …

This paper presents a literature review on the fabrication process of nanocarbon-reinforced
light metal matrix composites (LMMCs), where “nanocarbon” refers to carbon nanofibers …

When subjected to mechanical, thermal, or other loads, film–substrate systems may undergo
complex cracking behaviors, which encompass film and substrate cracking, interfacial …

The mechanisms underlying the influence of the surface chemistry of inorganic materials on
polymer structures and fracture behaviours near adhesive interfaces are not fully …

This paper develops an approach to model the deformation and fracture of heterogeneous
materials at different scales (including multiscale modeling) within a discrete representation …

Micromechanical tests are reliable tools to study the failure mechanisms in composites
reinforced with continuous fibers. This paper presents an overview of various analytical …

Based upon an average stress formulation of composite materials derived from the Mori-
Tanaka method, a fatigue criterion is established. The criterion is at the micromechanics …

Mechanical properties of pineapple leaf fiber reinforced low density polyethylene
composites have been studied with special reference to the effects of interface modifications …

The incorporation of a realistic interphasial region into the micromechani cal analyses of
composite systems is critical to the understanding of composite behavior. The interphase is …

The interphase, or transition region between fibre and matrix in composite material systems,
is known to play an essential role in the performance of composite components. In fact, it has …
