Contents:
Modelling of anisotropic behavior in fiber and particle reinforced composites -- Computational Mechanics of Failure in Composites at Multiple Scales -- Micromechanical modelling of strain hardening and tension softening in cementitious composites -- Optimum Composite Laminates Least Prone to Delamination under Mechanical and Thermal Loads -- Multiscale Computational Damage Modelling of Laminate Composites -- Damage Modelling at Material Interfaces -- Modelling of Damage and Fracture Processes of Ceramic Matrix Composites.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: The work helps to understand the basic principles of damage growth and fracture processes in cementitious, ceramic, polymer and metal matrix composites. Nowadays, it is widely recognized that important macroscopic properties like the macroscopic stiffness and strength are governed by processes that occur at one to several scales below the level of macroscopic observation. Moreover, the microstructural and mesostructural levels are well-defined: the microstructural level can be associated with small particles or fibres, while the individual laminae can be identified at the mesoscopic level. For this reason, advances in multiscale modelling and analysis made here, pertain directly to classes of materials which either have a wider range of relevant microstructural scales, such as metals, or do not have a very well-defined microstructure, e.g. cementitious or ceramic composites.
