Computational homogenization has emerged as an indispensable tool for bridging the gap between the microscale heterogeneity of composite materials and their macroscopic behaviour. By employing ...

UD’s Center for Composite Materials reflects on a legacy of innovation and charts a course for the next half-century From hockey sticks to jetliners, composite innovations developed at the University ...

Composite materials have revolutionized our industry, bringing outstanding performance to commonly used materials. However, designing these materials for maximum performance is not always intuitive.

Composites have been produced for millennia. The first known use of them dates back to around 3400 BC when the Mesopotamians used glued wood strips at angles to create plywood. Other early examples ...

In my August 2021 column, I introduced the composites building block approach as a step-by-step series of mechanical tests of increasing complexity, coupled with analyses performed at each step, that ...

One technology that is currently directly available is coprocessing in cement manufacturing. This offers a unique waste management solution, where the material is simultaneously used as both a highly ...
