Modelling and simulation techniques are now considered an essential practice for the
materials industry. In order to gain insight into factors that can affect the final properties of a …

The development of wind power industry is one of the important ways to solve current
energy shortage and reduce carbon emissions. As the key component to capture wind …

This research presents a investigation of long fiber-reinforced thermoplastics (LFT) with
mixed fiber types, combining experimental analysis with numerical modeling techniques. By …

Silica aerogels have attracted great interest for several decades because of their super
thermal insulation property, but their fragility has limited their application in every-day …

The interphase region between inclusions and a polymer matrix plays an important role in
determining the interfacial bonding strength of polymer composites. We present the interplay …

In this work the architectural anisotropy of short fiber reinforced polymers (SFRPs) has been
characterized using X-ray computed micro-tomography (micro-CT) with four different …

A micromechanics model based on thermal viscoelasticity constitutive relation is presented
to investigate the thermal-mechanical behavior of particulate reinforced shape memory …

As one of the most widely used thermoplastics, polypropylene (PP) owns the poor foaming
ability, resulting in the large and severely deformed cells in the foams fabricated by the …

The tensile response of ultra-high performance fibre-reinforced composites (UHPFRC) is
decisive in many applications and depends on the steel fibre content and orientation. These …

We explored how the fiber lengh affects physical properties of three phase polymer
composites. The composites including glass fibers, graphites and poly (propylene) were …
