Laminated C/SiC (carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide composites) has the complicated
nature of composite failure which include cracks for void defects at the meso and micro …

The mechanical behavior of a four-layer plain weave glass fiber/epoxy matrix composite is
modeled at the mesoscopic scale, taking into account the dry fabric preforming before resin …

Stitching is used to reduce incomplete infusion of T-joint core (dry-core) and reinforce T-joint
structure. However, it might cause new types of flaws, especially micro-sized flaws. In this …
