The ability of fibre reinforced composites to deform with a non-linear stress–strain response
and gradual, rather than sudden, catastrophic failure is reviewed. The principal mechanisms …

The stochastic prepreg platelet molded composite (PPMC) occurs when the orientation and
arrangement disorder of platelets are determined by the uncontrolled molding conditions …

X-ray computed tomography (CT) analysis is used to measure the heterogeneous fiber
orientation fields in a 20 cm 3 composite bracket made from prepreg platelet-based molding …

This study investigates the mode I intra-laminar fracture and size effect in Discontinuous
Fiber Composites (DFCs). Towards this goal, the results of fracture tests on geometrically …

The present work studied the mechanical behavior of organosheets produced using 1
″long glass fiber, which are incorporated within an in-situ polymerized polyamide 6 (nylon) …

Prepreg platelet molded composite (PPMC) is derived from compression molded pieces of
chopped unidirectional prepreg tape. The properties of a stochastic PPMC arise from the …

In this study, we investigate experimentally and numerically the mode I intra-laminar fracture
and size effect of Discontinuous Fiber Composites (DFCs) as a function of the structure …

The present paper investigated the impact and compression after impact behavior of thin
carbon fiber epoxy plates manufactured from prepreg platelet molding compound (PPMC) …

Compaction deformations in a thermoplastic composite system molded from chopped
prepreg platelets were analyzed to obtain statistical distributions of local distortions that …

The objective of this work was to develop a finite-element based computational model to
investigate the complex three-dimensional load transfer from the known meso-structure of a …
