This work develops RVE-based finite element (FE) models to understand how the microstructure of Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) composites affects the overall mechanical behaviour of the laminate. The models represent a [0/90] confi

Braiding is one of the most common technique employed for the manufacture of fabrics and ropes. It is also commonly used to produce near-net shaped preforms for advanced fibre reinforced composites. This paper presents an explicit finite element appr

An apparatus for tensile testing of engineering materials

Autor: Ulrich Heisserer, P.T. Curtis, Junyi Zhou, Vito L. Tagarielli

We develop a novel apparatus and a n associated test protocol to measure the tensile response of materials. The apparatus allows testing of ring - shaped specimens , fibre yarns and tapes of arbitrary length ; it can be employed to conduct experiment
