TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the imperfect interface between the phases of these interpenetrating phase composites on their effective electrical conductivity is investigated experimentally and numerically using finite element analysis (FEA).

TL;DR: In this article, an elastoplastic finite element model for stainless-steel/bronze interpenetrating phase composites (IPCs) is proposed and 3D representative volume elements (RVEs) are created based on the microstructures of the IPCs and corresponding finite element models are used to study the mechanical and thermal expansion properties.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the viscoelastic behavior of an architectured foam based on the mathematically-known Neovius (N) triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) under both time and frequency domains.

TL;DR: In this article, the nonlinear viscoelastic properties of asphalt concrete materials were characterized considering the effects of confinement pressure, and the analysis showed that the confinement pressure significantly affects the non linear visco-elastic response of asphaltcrete materials.

TL;DR: Based on the effective stress concept in continuum damage mechanics and the large deformation theory, a viscodamage model, coupled with Schapery-type nonlinear viscoelasticity and Perzyna-type viscoplasticity constitutive models, is used in order to simulate and predict the inelastic and time-dependent damage behavior of polymeric materials and their composites as mentioned in this paper.
