Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on the mechanical response of fibre-reinforced polymer-based materials will contain original research and review papers on key topics, including:
- Industrial applications: aerospace, ground-based transportation, marine, renewable energies, civil engineering, sports and leisure, medical, agricultural applications.
- Materials: fibre-reinforced polymers, prepregs.
- Structural behaviour: uniaxial testing, bending, impact, multiaxial testing, non-standard experimental methods, anisotropy, fracture and damage, multiscale modelling, short and long fibre composites, buckling and stability, pseudo-ductile composites, application of numerical techniques.
This Special Issue focuses on experimental, numerical and analytical studies about fibre-reinforced polymer-based materials with structural applications, with a special emphasis on the physics that underlies the mechanical behaviour. In addition to the topics already listed, the issue may also interlock the subjects of strength of materials and continuum mechanics for practical applications, including constitutive equations, optimization techniques, the finite element method (FEM) or the application of novel experimental methodologies. Both original contributions and reviews are welcome.
