- The product of a successful international collaboration between the University of Bristol and LMT Cachan (France), this paper proposes a novel multi-scale modelling technique dedicated to materials with highly complex internal architectures. The models proved, for the first time, that damage in 3D composites is driven by the interaction between material architecture and structural scale features. This means conventional multi-scale modelling techniques, assuming scale separation, cannot be used with 3D composites. The underlying damage models from this work were key inputs for a follow-on PhD studentship sponsored by Rolls-Royce and an InnovateUK funded program on Ceramics Matrix Composites (113160).
