Constitutive modeling for time- and temperature-dependent behavior of composites
08 Jan 2020
Structural integrity, durability, and thermal stability represent critical areas for adequately modeling the behavior of composite materials. Polymeric matrices are prone to have time-dependent behavior very sensitive to changes in temperature that influence the effective properties of the...

Computational evaluation of effective stress relaxation behavior of polymer composites
11 Jul 2017
This paper presents a micromechanics model to characterize the effective stress relaxationstiffness of polymer composites. The linear viscoelastic behavior of polymer material wasmodeled by hereditary integral. The proposed model was established based on thevariational asymptotic method for unit...

Structure Genome: Fill the Gap between Materials Genome and Structural Analysis
29 Nov 2014 | Publications
A new concept, Structure Genome (SG), is proposed to fill the gap between materials genome and structural analysis. SG acts as the basic building block of the structure connecting materials to structures and the mechanics of SG governs the necessary information to link materials genome and...
