Abstract: This paper develops a microscopic homogenization based continuum damage mechanics (HCDM) model framework for fiber reinforced composites undergoing interfacial debonding. It is an advancement over ...

Abstract: This work combines experimental studies with finite element simulations to develop a reliable numerical model for the simulation of shearing process in aluminum alloys. The critical concern with ...

Abstract: This paper is aimed at identifying key microstructural parameters that play important roles in the failure initiation of polycrystalline Ti-6242 subjected to creep and dwell loading. A finite ...

Abstract: This paper is aimed at analyzing stresses and fiber-matrix interfacial debonding in three-dimensional composite microstructures. It incorporates a 3D cohesive zone interface model based element to ...

Abstract: A microstructure sensitive criterion for dwell fatigue crack initiation in polycrystalline alloy Ti-6242 is proposed in this paper. Local stress peaks due to load shedding from time dependent ...
