In the present study, an evaluation method for the initial and progressive failure of composite
laminates was proposed based on the Puck failure criterion and damage mechanics …

A thermo-mechanical strength based cohesive zone model is proposed to simulate the
behaviour of an imperfect interface. In this model, the load transfer behaviour is described by …

The material behavior and damage of polymeric foams (eg, polyurethane foam and
polystyrene foam) are extremely complex under compression, depending on strain rates and …

The polyurethane foam (PUF) is one of the most widely used composite materials in
industrial and biomedical fields. It is frequently adopted in a wide range of environmental …

The primary aim of this study was to develop a unified anisotropic elasto-viscoplastic-
damage model that describes the material nonlinear behavior and damage/crack growth of …

Polyurethane foam (PUF) is a popular insulation material and has crucial mechanical
characteristics under compression in the principal loading direction, including nonlinear …

The primary aim of the present study is to provide a new constitutive model and its
computational procedure for a glass-fiber-reinforced polyurethane foam (RPUF) subjected to …

A new type of constitutive model and its computational implementation procedure for the
simulation of a trabecular bone are proposed in the present study. A yield surface …

While strain-hardening mechanisms for many metals are well understood, polymers in
general, and adhesives in particular, have received less attention. Thin adhesive joints are …

Polyurethane (PU) adhesive is widely used for bonding the secondary barrier of cryogenic
containment systems (CCS) of liquefied natural gas (LNG) ships due to its ductility at room …
