Liu, Y. (author), van der Meer, F.P. (author), Sluys, Lambertus J. (author), Ke, L. (author)The mode-I dynamic fracture energy and failure mechanisms of glass fiber-reinforced polymer composites are investigated with an embedded cell model of the single-edge-notched-tension (SENT) geometry. Under an applied dynamic loading, a crack may propagate in the embedded microstructure, accompanied by the development of a fracture process...journal article 2021

Liu, Y. (author), van der Meer, F.P. (author), Sluys, Lambertus J. (author), Fan, J. T. (author)With a classical notched configuration, the damage process in the transverse plane of fiber-reinforced polymer composites are studied by a direct numerical simulation model (DNS). However, to avoid high computational costs the region in which the fiber/matrix microstructure is explicitly modeled must remain small. Therefore, away from the...journal article 2020

Liu, Y. (author), van der Meer, F.P. (author), Sluys, Lambertus J. (author)An asymptotic homogenization model considering wave dispersion in composites is investigated. In this approach, the effect of the microstructure through heterogeneity-induced wave dispersion is characterised by an acceleration gradient term scaled by a “dispersion tensor”. This dispersion tensor is computed within a statistically equivalent...journal article 2019
