In this paper, we use the established cohesive element method to investigate the probabilistic failure of a model ceramic system under dynamic tensile loading. Monte-Carlo simulations are performed to calculate the fracture strength of a monolithic silicon ...
The evolution of microstructural damage during tensile deformation of pure aluminium reinforced with 10 vol.% alumina short fibres is studied by monitoring the evolution of density and Young's modulus as a function of tensile strain. It is found that Young ...
In composite processing, a compressible dry fiber preform is in many cases impregnated by a molten polymeric matrix. The impregnated part is sometimes used as produced, but most often it requires a reheating step before stamping, flow molding or even paint ...
Tensile tests have been carried out over a wide range of test speeds on compact tension specimens of polyamide 6 containing spherical silica particles, whose size and content had been adjusted to give optimum impact performance in conventional impact tests ...
The potential of pulp fiberreinforced thermoplastics is currently not fully explored in composites. One of the main reasons is that pulp fibers are extracted for the use in papermaking and are thus not optimized for use as reinforcements in thermoplastics ...
The fast-fracture and stress-rupture of a crossply ceramic-matrix composite with a matrix through-crack are examined numerically to assess the importance of fiber architecture and the associated stress concentrations at the 0/90 ply interface on failure. F ...
The reinforcement potential of pulp fibres is presently not fully explored in thermoplastic composites. One of the reasons is that currently used processing methods comprise several severe thermomechanical steps inducing premature degradation of the fibres ...
A computational analysis of the longitudinal deformation of continuous fibre reinforced metals is presented. Elastic and elastic-plastic matrix behaviour are considered. Analytical approaches are confronted with finite element analyses (FEA) for varying fi ...
A Green's function method (GFM) for simulating fiber damage evolution and tensile strength in fiber-reinforced composites is compared in detail to the predictions of the standard shear-lag model (SLM) widely used in the literature. The GFM extracts the in- ...
