This work reviews state of the art representative volume element (RVE) generation
techniques for heterogeneous materials. To this end, we present a systematic classification …

Generation of realistic finite element method (FEM) geometry of a textile composite material
at tow scale remains a challenging stage of material modeling. In this paper, a FE model …

Here we present the first real-time three dimensional (3D) observations of damage evolution
in a carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite tube under torsion. An in-situ torsion …

In this paper, a novel multiscale progressive damage model is proposed to study the
complex mechanical behavior and damage mechanism of plain woven composites. In the …

The purpose of this work is to find an effective image segmentation method for lab-based
micro-tomography (µ-CT) data of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) with insufficient …

Mesoscale simulations of woven composites using parameterized analytical geometries
offer a way to connect constituent material properties and their geometric arrangement to …

The mechanical behaviour and progressive damage of two-dimensional plain woven carbon-
epoxy fabrics is modelled at different length scales, taking into account the geometric and …

Abstract Segmenting micro-Computed Tomography (µCT) images of textile composites is a
necessary step before modeling the material at the mesoscale. However, the accurate …

This paper proposes a statistical approach to generate the refine meso-scale representative
volume element of three-dimensional (3D) five-directional braided composites considering …

This paper presents a novel modeling method to analyze the stress and strain fields of the
textile composites. Firstly, the fiber reinforcements are generated using virtual fibers. Then …
