This paper presents a defect severity concept for characterising fibre misalignments
commonly found in practical composites. Drawing an analogy with brittle fracture from sharp …

In this study a complete procedure is presented of how to generate finite element models
based on X-ray computer tomography data on the fibre bundle scale for non-crimp fabric …

Due to the coupling effects between stresses in different directions, the mechanical behavior
of an advanced composite material under multiaxial loading is extremely complex. In this …

This paper presents the first synchrotron micro-Computed Tomography (micro-CT) study on
in-situ pure compressive kink-band failure in Uni-Directional Carbon Fibre-Reinforced …

The present study examines how wrinkles affect a composite material's compressive failure
behavior. Uni-directional carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (UD-CFRP) composites with …

This paper proposes a three-dimensional failure criterion model for unidirectional fiber-
reinforced composites. In contrast to previous models that only accounted for the effect of …

This study presents a holistic segmentation procedure, which can be used to obtain
individual fibre inclination angles from X-ray computed tomography. The segmentation …

The current study is focused on the compressive strength of composite materials containing
non-crimp fabric (NCF) reinforcement, and how ply stacking sequence and fibre waviness …

Among micro-scale imaging technologies of materials, X-ray micro-computed tomography
has evolved as most popular choice, even though it is restricted to limited field-of-views and …

Accurate modelling of fibre reinforced composites requires anisotropic material models.
Structure tensor analysis of X-ray 3D images has been shown to provide fast and robust …
