Selective laser melting (SLM) is an additive technology that allows for the production of precisely designed complex structures for energy absorbing applications from a wide range of metallic materials. Geometrical imperfections of the... more
As well as acting as a moderator and reflector, graphite is used as a structural component in many gas-cooled fission nuclear reactors. Therefore the ability to predict the structural integrity of the many graphite components which make... more
Geometrical models needed for finite element discretization of plain-weave fabric-reinforced composites are developed from measurements taken on photomicrographs of single lamina and laminated composites. Then, a meso-level damage model... more
This researching deals with the material models used by Finite Elements software to predict the behavior of the stress and strain of hyperelastic materials. The mechanical test needed to describe the behavior of these materials is... more
In analysis and design of structures subjected to earthquakes, the cyclic and dynamic nature of the response leads to complications. Material models need to account for cyclic plasticity, including deterioration and eventual failure due... more
Rubbery polymers are subjected to severe environmental conditions under service. As a consequence of various ageing mechanisms, the outer surface of rubber components hardens in time and cracking occurs as a result of combined mechanical... more
