Composites are engineered to obtain materials with very useful material properties, tailored for specific applications. In the structure of a typical composite, one material - the dispersed phase ...

Composites are made from two or more constituent materials, each with different properties. When combined, they create a material with properties greater than the sum of its parts. Examples include ...

Composites are materials composed of at least two distinct phases (for example carbon fibers in a polymer matrix) in a defined geometric relationship, which are constructed in such a manner that the ...

The book covers all of the key issues on the behaviour of composites in a fire, including thermal degradation mechanisms, thermal softening, fire damage mechanics, and deterioration of mechanical ...

Estimating composite material properties can be computationally expensive and time-consuming. Researchers propose a Reduced Basis Homogenisation Method (RBHM) to enhance homogenisation based on a ...

Her research focuses on quantifying the long term reliability of continuous fiber materials, with the ultimate goal of using laboratory measured fiber and matrix properties to predict large scale ...

The research is published in the journal Advanced Materials ... that have other optical or magnetic properties, for example, ...
