TL;DR: In this article, composites with various fiber/matrix and interlaminar interfacial properties were fabricated using an autoclave under curing pressures ranging from 0 to 0.8 MPa.

TL;DR: A bottom-up multiscale virtual testing strategy is presented to take into account the physical mechanisms of deformation at different length scales on the behaviour of the composite.

TL;DR: In this article, a methodology is presented and applied to measure the shear interface strength of fiber-reinforced polymers based on fiber push-in tests carried out on the central fiber of highly-packed fiber clusters with hexagonal symmetry.

TL;DR: In this article, the deformation and damage mechanisms during tensile deformation of [±45] 2s open hole carbon fiber composite materials were quantitatively analyzed by means of image analysis of XCT data.

TL;DR: A novel methodology is presented to introduce Periodic Boundary Conditions (PBC) on periodic Representative Volume Elements (RVE) in Finite Element (FE) solvers based on dynamic explicit time integration and demonstrates the homogenization of composite ply properties through the explicit FE method with increased efficiency and similar reliability.
