- Additional information
- The originality of the paper lies on the micro-mechanical model using random distribution of fibres to simulate failure modes, crack initiation and propagation. The model has been adopted in an EPSRC project (EP/J009482/1) to simulate human tissues and are used as the main tool in two live projects sponsored by the Royal Society (IEC\NSFC\170505) to study fibre reinforced concrete and the EPSRC (EP/T020695/1) on composite joints. DSTL (PJHOPGOOD@dstl.gov.uk) and BAE Systems (brett.hemingway@baesystems.com) are currently supporting to use the model as a platform to generate date for data-driven failure predictions for a joint bid to be submitted to EPSRC.
