Effects of non-uniform strains on tensile fracture of fiber-reinforced ceramic–matrix composites have not been satisfactorily explained by existing mechanics-based models. In this paper, we use an exact model of fiber fragmentation under global load sharin ...
Diamond reinforced metals with a diamond content of 55-60 vol.% were made by gas driven liquid metal infiltration. They were characterized with regard to their stiffness, strength and fracture toughness as a function of diamond particle size and matrix all ...
A model for predicting composite material strength degradation under elevated and high temperatures is proposed. This model is based on the morphology of the mixture of materials in different states. The degradation of resin-dominated shear strength can be ...
The aim of this thesis is to assess the feasibility of integrating nanoparticles into glass fiber (GF) reinforced isotactic polypropylene (iPP) composites via existing thermoplastic processing routes, and to investigate whether this results in significant ...
In this paper, an elastic plastic behaviour model based on internal state variables is investigated. The final aim is to describe the mechanical stress-strain cyclic response of oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels during the cold pilgering process. ...
Hygro-thermal ageing of composite materials introduces a modification in the material properties of its constituents and the development of stresses that can lead to severe local damage like fracture of the reinforcing fibers and de-bonding of the latter f ...

The main aim of this work was to study and understand the influence of SiC particles on the corrosion and tribocorrosion of Al-matrix composite materials. For that, Al-SiCp functionally graded composites were produced by centrifugal casting and different S ...
The current study proposes a combined experimental and modeling approach to characterize the mechanical response of composite lead-free solders. The influence of the reinforcement volume fraction on the shear response of the solder material in the joint is ...
Joint analysis using a non-linear finite element model has been performed to analyze the effects of adhesive ductility on the stiffness and strength of full-scale adhesively-bonded double-lap joints composed of brittle pultruded GFRP laminates. Experimenta ...
The constant improvement of polymer composite materials has allowed their integration in many industrial fields where their mechanical and chemical properties are apparently attractive. Mixed metal-composite insulators are now increasingly used for high vo ...
