TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated and improved mechanical and dynamic thermal properties of PLA by developing PLA composites reinforced with natural fibres (hemp), which were prepared by melt blending of PLA with hemp fibres.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a numerical study highlighting the consequences of adopting many of the differing property sets available in the literature, the sensitivity of temperature development resulting from deviations from the assumptions that underpin such properties, and the consequence of adopting plasterboard properties derived from standard fire tests, in natural fire situations.

TL;DR: In this article, a crystal-plasticity theory was implemented in a finite-element (FE) modelling scheme to consider inherently anisotropic deformation of a single-crystal metal at micro-scale.

TL;DR: In this article, the microstructural randomness of laminates that is responsible for non-uniform distributions of stresses in them even under uniform loading conditions is accounted for in the model with the use of Weibull's two-parameter probability density function.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new method for the finite element analysis of low-density thermally bonded nonwoven materials is proposed and compared with tensile tests by using advantages of parametric modelling, the model with a large number of fibres is developed.
