TL;DR: In this article, the RVE-based FE homogenization method with the periodic boundary condition is introduced and implemented in the ABAQUS through the Python Interface to evaluate the effective mechanical properties of the composites with complicated micro-structures.

TL;DR: In this article, a novel process for preparing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) reinforced magnesium nanocomposites was developed, which combined friction stir processing (FSP) and ultrasonic assisted extrusion.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the developments in personal thermal management using thermally conductive composites, with a focus on mechanistic models and engineering strategies for thermal conduction and explore the diverse implementations for improving the cooling and warming performance from fibers and yarns to fabrics and the latest wearable technologies.

TL;DR: In this article, a new strategy is proposed to generate the representative volume element (RVE) on the basis of scanning electron microscope (SEM) images, in which these pores are approximated as the polygons and the identical fibers are generated by using the RSA algorithm.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of pyrolytic carbon coating on tensile strength of T700 carbon fibers was studied by tow tensile-strength test and morphological change, roughness, microstructures, and thermal stability of carbon fibers with PyC coating (PyC-Cf).
