Modelling and simulation techniques are now considered an essential practice for the
materials industry. In order to gain insight into factors that can affect the final properties of a …

The shear failure behavior of the interfaces in carbon fiber (CF)/ZnO nanowire (ZnO
NW)/epoxy resin hierarchical composites, and its dependency on strain rate, are …

This paper presents numerical results on the micromechanical linear analysis of
representative volume elements (RVE) containing voids. The modeling approach is the …

The multilayer structure of fiber-reinforced polymers may be extracted by ultrasonic pulse-
echo inspection. Depending on the employed ultrasonic frequency and subsequent …

In this work, ultrasonic guided waves and a dual-branch version of convolutional neural
networks are used to solve two different but related inverse problems, ie, finding layup …

As most composite failures are caused by matrix failures, the detection on the latter is of
fundamentally importance. This can be achieved only when the homogenized stresses of …

A precise time-of-flight (TOF) of phased array ultrasonic is crucial to the high-quality total
focusing method (TFM) imaging in the corner of multidirectional carbon fiber reinforced …

Evaluating the transverse and shear modulus of carbon fibers experimentally is challenging
and are usually obtained by an inverse approach using a micromechanical model. This …

Shape memory polymer composite (SMPC) actuators have received significant attention for
applications in space deployable structures because of their light weight and simple …

An enhanced two-stage inversion scheme for the determination of the viscoelastic properties
of orthotropic plates (eg fiber reinforced polymers) based on the pulsed ultrasonic polar scan …
