Quantifying microscopic damage mechanisms in opaque composite laminates with multiple
off-axis plies throughout fatigue experiments is challenging. However, if successful …

This paper presents a computationally efficient multi-scale analytical framework for
predicting the effective elastic response of short fiber reinforced polymers (SFRPs) under …

Delamination induced by ply cracking is an important damage mechanism that results in
stress redistribution and degrades both the in-plane and out-of-plane laminate properties. In …

Accurate prediction of stiffness degradation in the damaged plies (laminae) is a fundamental
requirement for developing damage models for composite materials. In this study, a …

Delamination is a crucial failure mode of fibre composites and layered materials in general.
Delamination, or interfacial failure, leads to loss of stiffness and load-carrying capacity and …

Determination of the effective elastic properties of unidirectional short fiber reinforced
composites (SFRCs) is a key fundamental requirement which is usually estimated by mean …

In this paper, a multi-scale technique is presented to study the mechanical behavior of nano-
composites by linking the atomistic information from lower scale to the continuum model in …

The aim of this article is to study the degradation of a composite material under static
pressure. The high pressure condition is similar to the one encountered inside hydrogen …

A model is described which allows the exact calculation of stresses in a cracked ply under
combined state of strain. Closed form expressions for the stresses in each ply are combined …

Matrix cracking of composite laminates leads to stiffness degradation and dominates the
medium leakage of liner-less composite vessels. A stiffness degradation model can be …
