One of the main challenges for fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) is the difficulty to predict their
mechanical behavior. At the microscale, the properties of the constituents, their spatial …

Fibre breaks govern the strength of unidirectional composite materials under tension. The
progressive development of fibre breaks is studied using in situ X-ray computed …

A methodology is presented for the retrieval of fibre strength Weibull parameters using in-
situ synchrotron computed tomography tensile testing of unidirectional composite …

The microstructure governs the behaviour of unidirectional fibre-reinforced composites. In
this study, we developed a Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Network (DCGAN) to …

When unidirectional fiber reinforced composites are subjected to longitudinal tensile loading
and reach a critical failure state, they experience a sudden transition from local damage to …

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 …

In-situ synchrotron computed tomography (CT) tensile tests were performed on two carbon-
glass hybrid composites and the respective carbon fibre reference composite. The same …

Efficient and accurate calculation of stress overload and stress redistribution near the fiber
breakpoint is the basis for simulating the tensile damage evolution of unidirectional fiber …

One of the main challenges for fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) is the difficulty to predict their
