The mechanical properties of polymers are becoming increasingly important as they are
used in structural applications, both on their own and as matrix materials for composites. It …

Adhesive bonding is a constantly developing technique, and the volume of its industrial
applications is rapidly increasing, which, in turn, requires improving the compatibility and …

Strain rate effect on wood material is of major interest when dealing with applications
dedicated to energy absorption or wood machining. To understand and evaluate the strain …

Joining techniques for multi-material structures are critical for increased use of lightweight
materials such as aluminium alloys and thermoplastic composites in the automotive industry …

In this paper, the modeling of a polymer gel used as target medium in blunt ballistic
experiments is presented. A new visco-hyperelastic law based on the Mooney–Rivlin model …

Joining techniques for multi-material structures are critical for increased use of lightweight
materials in the automotive industry. This paper investigates the combined effect of spew …

In this paper, the inter-ply frictional behavior between woven and unidirectional (UD)
carbon/epoxy prepregs was studied and its effect on the forming process was investigated …

In this study, we consider the nonlinear viscoelastic–viscoplastic behavior of adhesive films
in scarf joints. We develop a three-dimensional nonlinear model, which combines a …

One of the major concerns in ensuring lithium-ion battery (LIB) safety in abuse scenarios is
the structural integrity of the battery separator. This paper presents a coupled viscoelastic …

We consider the nonlinear viscoelastic–viscoplastic behavior of adhesives. We develop a
one-dimensional nonlinear model by combining Schapery's nonlinear single integral model …
