This paper presents a non-linear Binary Model, which is a computationally efficient finite-element-based approach to predict mechanical behaviour of textile
Optical fiber sensors have been embedded in the composite to provide the in-situ monitoring structure health, but the efficiency of sensor embedment strongl
In this work, a series of flexible polymer-matrix composites composed of different content of multilayer graphene flakes (MGF), graphene foam (GF) and polyd
Fiber metal laminates (FMLs) are a relatively new type of hybrid materials composed of alternatively stacked thin metal sheets and fiber reinforced composit
Delamination is a detrimental damage mode in laminated composites which will lead to quick loss of structural stiffness and strength, during which the crack
The Variable Angle Tow (VAT) is a new tow-steering technique that enables the fibre orientation angles of composite laminates to vary into curvilinear paths
The eggshell membrane (ESM) is a natural biopolymer material, which owns uniquely porous network structure and mainly consists of the inner and outer membra
Bioresorbable composites have shown much potential for bone repair applications, as they have the ability to degrade completely over time and their degradat
