Process-induced deformation (PID) is unavoidable during thermosetting composite
manufacturing, and the PID may reduce the assembly accuracy and even cause a service …

In this study, we propose a versatile two-scale approach for thermo-viscoelastic analysis of
the curing of composite laminates. Cure-induced residual stresses and part distortion …

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

In general, the network structure formed in epoxy resins is heterogeneous, and its extent is
dependent on the curing temperature. Based on Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy in …

Herein, a multiscale model comprising a quantum-chemical reaction path calculations,
molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, and filament and laminate scale finite-element …

In this study, we established a novel method based on the finite element method (FEM) for
predicting the strength of adhesive structures. Viscoplasticity, void growth, and cohesive …

Fiber-reinforced composites are essential in the aerospace industry, highlighting the need
for an in-depth understanding of their durability. This study introduces a novel approach that …

A multiscale model is developed to comprehensively predict the failure parameters
associated with the elasto-plasticity of a unidirectional carbon-fiber-reinforced composite …

Reaction-induced phase separation occurs during the curing reaction when a thermoplastic
resin is dissolved in a thermoset resin, which enables toughening of the thermoset resin. As …

In this study, a straightforward in-situ surface modification procedure was used to enhance
the interfacial adhesion of carbon fibre (CF)-reinforced polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). To do …
