Micromechanical Study of the Interface Properties in Concrete Repair Systems
Hi all,
We've recently published a paper on
Micromechanical Study of the Interface Properties in Concrete Repair Systems
It deals with nanoindentation and numerical simulation of the interface zone in concrete repair systems.
Greetings
Strain hardening
The attached notes are written for a course on plasticity. I will update new posts on my twitter account: https://twitter.com/zhigangsuo. Rheology is the science of deformation. This science poses a question for every material: given a history of stress, how do we find the history of strain?

Hybrid and hierarchical nanoreinforced polymer composites
Hybrid and hierarchical polymer composites represent a promising group of materials for engineering applications. In this paper, computational studies of the strength and damage resistance of hybrid and hierarchical composites are reviewed. The reserves of the composite improvement are explored by using computational micromechanical models. It is shown that while glass/carbon fibers hybrid composites
Graphene reinforced polymer composites: 3D micromechanical modelling, damage and fracture
3D computational model of graphene reinforced polymer composites is developed and applied to the analysis of damage and fracture mechanisms in the composites. The graphene/polymer interface properties are determined using the inverse modeling approach. The effect of composite structure, in particular, of the aspect ratio, shape, clustering, orientation and volume fraction of graphene platelets on the
mechanical behavior and damage mechanisms of nanocomposites are studied in computational experiments.
Sutured tendon repair; a multi-scale finite element model.
We've recently published an open access journal paper that looks at the mechanics of sutures used to repair severed tendons. A homogenization strategy is used to derive effective elastic properties for tendon fibrils and intracellular matrix. We have found that regions of high stress correlate with the regions of cell death (necrosis) that are sometimes observed in patients.
