Fundamental and estimation of thermal contact resistance between polymer matrix composites: A review
TL;DR: The thermal contact resistance between polymer matrix composites (PMCs) imposes the significant impacts on the design, processing and application of these materials as mentioned in this paper , and the main challenges for the accurate estimation are summarized, mainly including the complex interfacial thermal conductance due to the addition of fillers, the anisotropic thermal and mechanical responses due to heterogeneity of PMCs, the uncertain contact mechanics due to special mechanical properties.

Hierarchical homogenization and experimental evaluation of functionally graded materials manufactured by the fused filament fabrication process
TL;DR: In this paper, the numerical and experimental characterization of Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) fabricated by the fused filament fabrication (FFF) process was investigated, and the results indicated that the gradual change in fiber reinforcement reduced the stress concentrations at the interface zone and increased the strength of neat Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) properties.

An engineering solution for mesh size effects in the simulation of delamination using cohesive zone models
TL;DR: In this paper, a methodology to determine the constitutive parameters for the simulation of progressive delamination is proposed, which accounts for the size of a cohesive finite element and the length of the cohesive zone to ensure the correct dissipation of energy.

Strain- and stress-based continuum damage models—I. Formulation
Juan C. Simo,J.W. Ju +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a dual framework for elastic cap damage was proposed, where a strain-and a stress-based approach was employed, and a viscous regularization of strain-based, rate-independent damage models was also developed.
