A novel environmentally friendly recycling method is developed for large carbon-fibers
reinforced-polymers composite panels whose efficiency is demonstrated through a proof-of …

A mesoscale numerical model based on shear transformation zone (STZ) theory is
implemented in a commercial finite element software. The model is designed to predict the …

The hybrid assembling of thermoplastics with thermosets through controlled interdiffusion is
an attractive approach towards integrated structural composite bonding. The fracture …

This paper presents a probabilistic micromechanics-based approach to simulate the
influence of scatter sources in composite materials as an alternative to deterministic …

A number of experimental evidences indicate that the local response of polymer matrices
near fibres is inadequately represented by classical continuum models relying on the bulk …

Tremendous progress in nanomechanical testing and modelling has been made during the
last two decades. This progress emerged from different areas of materials science dealing …

The prediction of the micromechanical response of fibre-reinforced polymer composites with
numerical models relies on the assumption that the matrix behaves like a bulk sample of the …

The use of composite materials such as fiber reinforced polymers has become more and
more popular during recent years. In particular, epoxy resins are often selected as polymer …

Composites made of epoxy matrices are widely used in many sectors such as the
automotive and aerospace sectors, but also in the development of sport equipment …

In this work longitudinal tensile tests combined with in-situ Synchrotron Radiation Computed
Tomography (SRCT) are analysed to capture the accumulation fibre breaks in unidirectional …
