Micromechanical Modelling of Polyethylene
(University of Waterloo, 2007-11-27)The increasing use of polyethylene in diverse applications motivates the need for understanding how its molecular properties relate to the overall behaviour of the material. Although microstructure and mechanical properties ... -
Prediction of ply crack evolution and stiffness degradation in multidirectional symmetric laminates under multiaxial stress states
(Elsevier, 2018-01-15)A comprehensive study was performed to assess the influence of microscopic ply crack interactions on crack surface opening (COD) and sliding displacements (CSD) for arbitrary plies in general symmetric multidirectional ... -
Time-dependent damage analysis for viscoelastic-viscoplastic structural laminates under biaxial loading
(Elsevier, 2018-11-01)Many composite structures are required to sustain severe thermo-mechanical loads over extended periods of time, during which viscoelastic and viscoplastic behavior can cause the progression of micro-damage. In this paper, ...
