Long fibre-reinforced thermoplastic or long fibre thermoplastic (LFT) composites possess
superior specific modulus and strength, excellent impact resistance, and other advantages …

Additive manufacturing, which is referred to as 3D printing, is a new developed process of
fabricating metallic, ceramic, plastic and concrete materials. The goal of this article is to …

Thermal-elastic properties, including the elastic modulus and coefficients of thermal
expansion (CTE), are two crucial mechanical parameters in concrete design. However, the …

In this study an attempt is made to generate the microstructure of short fibre composites
through representative volume element (RVE) approach and then analyzed using …

We investigate volume-element sampling strategies for the stochastic homogenization of
particle-reinforced composites and show, via computational experiments, that an improper …

Abstract The Representative Volume Element (RVE) plays a central role in the
homogenization of random heterogeneous microstructures, especially for composite and …

Meso-scale material modeling and parameter identification are still unsettled issues in the
current multi-scale methods for the field of computational mechanics. In this investigation, a …

Polymer composites reinforced with natural fibers have made great strides in industrial
appliance use owing to the fibers exceptional composite properties, low environmental …

This study aims to model the effective mechanical response of highly porous materials using
computational homogenisation. A two-phase material is considered here in the form of a von …

This study aimed to quantify the 3D microstructure of short basalt fiber (BF)-reinforced
