Processing-Microstructure-Property Relationships in a Short Fiber Reinforced Carbon-Carbon Composite System

Multiscale viscoplastic modeling of recycled glass fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites: Experimental and numerical investigations

“…The microstructural analysis is a vital stage in the "Processing-Microstructure-Property" framework for computational materials and design [28,29]. A diverse range of simulation techniques and models has been established in the literature to generate microstructural models for the prediction of material properties [30], but unfortunately, they do not wholly capture the complex microstructural architecture of TP-ROS composites (e.g., spatial dispersion of fiber strands), because of the uncontrolled deposition and local material flow effects that occur during compression molding (see Fig.…”

A Short Introduction to Continuum Micromechanics

“…Among the continuum mechanical multi-scale descriptions of the mechanical behavior of inhomogeneous materials reported in the literature, some combine mean field methods at the higher length scale with mean field methods, see e.g. Hu et al (1998) and Siegmund et al (2004), or periodic microfield approaches, compare Gonzalez and LLorca (2000) and LLorca (2004), at the lower length scale. .…”

“…Accordingly, statistically based microstructure-property relations for inhomogeneous materials are an important issue in micromechanical studies (Pyrz, 2004;Siegmund et al, 2004).…”
