This review aims to assess publications relevant to understanding the rate-dependent
dynamic behaviour of glass-and carbon-fibre reinforced polymer composites (FRPs). FRPs …

The article is devoted to the analysis of the structure and properties of fiber composites with
an epoxy matrix. The issues of the formation of interphase layers, including those containing …

This study presents an investigation on the influence of loading rate and temperature on
mode I interlaminar fracture toughness of unidirectional composite laminates. An analytical …

In many practical situations, composite structures are often subjected to complex impact
loadings ranging from low to high strain rates. Therefore, it is necessary to characterize the …

A cohesive zone model (CZM) combining interfacial debonding, frictional sliding, and
coupling between decohesion and friction is developed. The proposed interface model …

Experimental investigation of the effect of strain rate and temperature on large inelastic
deformation of an epoxy resin is presented. Uniaxial compression tests were conducted on …

This paper develops two-level parametrically-upscaled continuum damage mechanics
(PUCDM) models for woven composites. The PUCDM models are thermodynamically …

The mechanical performance of the fiber tow composite is crucial for textile composites. To
characterize the tensile properties of the carbon fiber tow composite, a tensile test …

The properties of nanoscale interphase significantly influence the mechanics of load transfer
and hence the macroscopic behavior of fiber-reinforced composites. Herein, we present a …

The objective of this paper is to model high strain rate and temperature-dependent response
of an epoxy resin (DER 353 and bis (p-aminocyclohexyl) methane (PACM-20)) undergoing …
