This paper discusses the question posed in the title and available options for the structural
analysis of metallic and composite structures concerning the choice of 1D, 2D, and 3D …

Continuous fiber-reinforced composites are increasingly used in civil aviation for their
superior mechanical properties and light weight. However, the process-induced deformation …

Additive manufacturing parameters of high-performance polymers greatly affect the thermal
history and consequently quality of the end-part. For fused deposition modeling (FDM), this …

In this paper, a simplified constitutive model of resin in curing process considering stress
relaxation was proposed. The simulation of composite curing using the proposed model is …

Overheating is almost inevitable during the curing of thick polymer matrix composite parts,
which always induces degradation of the mechanical properties. To explore the relationship …

This study aims to investigate uncertainties in tool-part interaction during manufacturing of
advanced aerospace composites. To achieve this goal, a custom-built shear test was …

This study develops a multi-scale predictive framework to study the cure kinetics of a
polymeric resin under autoclave conditions. The novelty of the study includes evaluation of …

In this paper, the effect of curing deformation on the vibration behavior of a laminated
composite beam is studied. The analysis model of the vibration of the laminated composite …

Complex composite structures manufactured using a low-pressure vacuum bag-only (VBO)
method are more susceptible to defects than flat laminates because of the presence of …

The work aims to enhance the capabilities of a Finite Element tool, specifically related to a
rheological thermo-chemo-viscoelastic constitutive model. This enhancement is intended to …
