A hierarchical multiscale model is established to reveal the failure mechanism of three-
dimensional (3D) braided composites at high temperature. Firstly, the tensile and bending …

Digital image correlation (DIC) is a powerful technique for determining material deformation
and damage and currently is viewed as a potential method to study failure and crack …

A multiscale modeling framework including microscale, mesoscale and macroscale models,
is developed to investigate the low-velocity impact (LVI) and compression after impact (CAI) …

The mechanical properties and damage behaviors of carbon/epoxy woven fabric composite
under in-plane tension and compression are studied at the meso-scale level through …

Woven composites exhibit complex meso-scale behavior depending on meso-and micro-
structural parameters. Accurately modeling their mechanical response is challenging and …

We present a finite element discrete model for pantographic lattices, based on a continuous
Euler–Bernoulli beam for modeling the fibers composing the pantographic sheet. This model …

In this work, a hierarchical multiscale analysis method was used for 3D woven composite
leaf spring landing gear. The structural finite element models at micro, meso and macro …

Digital image correlation is applied to the images of a deforming composite to obtain strain
maps at three length scales: micro-scale (ply level, hundreds of micrometers), meso-scale …

In this paper, an automated crack detection method for laminated composites of carbon fiber
reinforced polymers (CFRP) is presented. Image correlation is performed on micrographs of …

Quantifying microscopic damage mechanisms in opaque composite laminates with multiple
off-axis plies throughout fatigue experiments is challenging. However, if successful …
