Crack onset and growth at the fibre–matrix interface under a remote biaxial transverse load. Application of a coupled stress and energy criterion [Article]
(Elsevier, 2012-09-01)
A theoretical model for prediction of the critical load generating a crack onset at the fibrematrix interface under a remote biaxial transverse load is presented. In particular, this work is focused on the tension dominated ...

Crack initiation in composites at micro and meso scales. Development and applications of finite fracture mechanics [Doctoral Thesis]
(2014-09-15)
El uso de los materiales compuestos en aplicaciones estructurales ha aumentado considerablemente durante los últimos años, especialmente en aquellas industrias donde el peso es un factor clave en el diseño. Su uso se ha ...

Boundary Integral Formulation of Frictionless Contact Problems Based on an Energetic Approach and Its Numerical Implementation by the Collocation BEM [Article]
(Frontiers Media, 2018-11-27)
A unified methodology to solve problems of frictionless unilateral contact as well as adhesive contact between linear elastic solids is presented. This methodology is based on energetic principles and is casted to a ...
