Fibre reinforced composite materials are showing sustained growth in an ever widening
range of applications from food trays to spacecraft as well as contributing to resolving …

The mechanisms of void nucleation of a hollow glass syntactic foam during tensile loading
were studied in depth. Flat-notched geometries, cut-out from neat and Glass Syntactic …

My doctoral studies have been conducted as a part of the FiBreMoD project, which has
received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation …

High-performance polymers are extensively used in various applications undergoing long-
term cyclic loadings. The deformation behaviour of an amorphous thermoset epoxy resin …

In this study, we investigated the effect of heterogeneity on the mechanical properties of
epoxy resin by combining coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CG-MD) and finite element …

Micromechanics simulations of fiber-reinforced polymer-matrix composites with waviness
defects are conducted to investigate the effect of constitutive model selection on the …

In this paper, we studied the effect of the 2D epoxy thin films' shape with equilateral triangle
and square structures, and matrix size L x× L y of (10× 9),(20× 19),(30× 29), and (40× 39) …

Failure prediction of epoxy-based compounds becomes challenging when considering a
highly divergent stress field and model singularities. In these cases, fracture and damage …

Filament-wound composite pressure vessels (CPVs) are the industry standard for storage of
hydrogen fuel in fuel cell-based electric vehicles. The filament winding winds continuous …

The influence of void-type manufacturing defects on the mechanical properties of textile
composites was investigated both by experimental characterization and by multiscale …
