Composite structures are known for their ability to be tailored according to specific operating requisites. Therefore, when modelling these types of structures or components, it is important to account for their response variability, which is mainly...
The reactive process of reinforced thermoset injection molding significantly influences the mechanical properties of the final composite structure. Therefore, reliable process simulation is crucial to predict the process behavior and relevant process...
Polylactic acid (PLA)/cellulose nanowhiskers (CNWs) composite nanofibers were successfully produced by electrospinning mixed PLA solutions with CNWs. Observation by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirms the uniform distribution of...
Fiber-reinforced polymer composites offer inherent advantages over traditional metallic materials in a number of different ways; however, these materials are also highly susceptible to impact damage. In this paper, we explore the response of FRP (fib...
Compression molding of long fiber reinforced composites offers specific advantages in automotive applications due to the high strength to weight ratio, the comparably low tooling costs and short cycle times. However, the manufacturing process of long...
This study presents a homogenization based on micromechanics approach for a two-phase copper (Cu)-silver (Ag) composite undergoing finite deformations. In this approach, the high-fidelity generalized method of cells (HFGMC) is implemented for the pre...
