Due to the inherent viscoelasticity of constituent matrix and the possibility of long-term
storage, space deployable structures made of composites are likely to exhibit relaxation in …

The previously developed finite volume based asymptotic homogenization theory designed
for unidirectional composites with finite-sized microstructures is further extended to non …

In this work, the effective elastic and viscoelastic properties of short fiber reinforced
composites (SFRCs) were investigated based on micromechanical modeling and …

A series of expanded graphite (EG), hybrid fillers, and foam materials (FM) filled with epoxy
resin (EP) composites were designed and fabricated to improve the thermal conductivity of …

We derive the governing equations for the overall behaviour of linear viscoelastic
composites comprising two families of elastic inclusions, subphases and/or fibres, and an …

In this study, analytical solutions were proposed to investigate the flexural creep behaviors
of viscoelastic layered beams subjected to sustained loads. The viscoelastic properties of …

Composite pipes, which are widely used for transporting fluids, have a high strength, good
impermeability and strong resistance to external pressure. Because the pipe bears a …

This work proposes a modified state space method (SSM) to develop the analytical solution
for viscoelastic laminated angle-ply plates subjected to long-term loading situations. Within …

Biocomposite development, as a sustainable alternative to fossil-derived materials with
diverse industrial applications, requires expediting the design process and reducing …

In this paper, a multiscale optimization approach for composite material design is presented.
The objective is to find different material designs for a short fiber reinforced polymer (SFRP) …
