TL;DR: In this article, the deformation and fracture features of carbon composite materials were determined by an evolution of an ensemble of microscopic defects, and a statistic approach allowed a system of macroscopic costitutive equations to be obtained.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the deformation and damage behaviors of random fibrous networks with experimental and numerical methods at local (fibre) and global (specimen) levels.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate how mechanical and geometrical properties of polylactide (PLA) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) additively manufactured with material extrusion can be selectively tailored using a newly devised treatment method of chemical immersion in acetone.

TL;DR: In this paper , the ballistic performance of thin aluminium targets under normal and oblique impacts with plate-like projectiles is investigated with emphasis on the local projectile-induced target response, and the results suggest that defeat mechanisms and target resistance measures were different from those observed in impact with equivalent axisymmetric projectiles, as a result of a high projectile's cross-sectional aspect ratio.

TL;DR: In this article , a parametric algorithm was developed to compute fiber crimp in fibres in a virtual domain, which was successfully tested for six different X-ray µCT models of nonwoven fabrics.
