In this work, an integrated numerical approach for predicting the damage mechanism of
unidirectional CFRP composites at the micro-scale level has been developed using a multi …

In this work, we propose a novel deep learning (DL) approach to directly process and
characterize the guided wave information measured from an interrupted tensile-tensile …

The translaminar fracture toughness and its dependence on the environmental condition are
key considerations in designing aerospace-grade composites with a high damage tolerance …

In this paper it is shown that the strength degradation of fiber reinforced composites
subjected to constant amplitude (CA) fatigue loadings can be described by three distinct …

Carbon fiber-reinforced polymers are important constituents of aerospace materials.
However, due to the inert surface of CFs, their interfacial property is relatively weak, which …

In this work the possibility to reverse engineer the transverse isotropic carbon fibre
properties from the 3D homogenized elastic tensor of the UD ply for the prediction of woven …

The evaluation of matrix cracks in carbon fiber reinforced plastics that influence the
performance of the composite structure is important. This study evaluated the number of …

Abstract 3D braided composites are widely used in many areas due to their unique
properties of high designability, excellent damage tolerance and integrality. Longitudinal …

A fatigue damage micro-model is developed for two-phase composite materials. Constitutive
law is derived at the level of fibre and matrix and extended for a damaged lamina using the …

Three dimensional (3D) finite element analysis along with a damage model based on kinetic
theory of fracture (KTF) are used to determine the onset of fatigue crack initiation in …
