Thermomechanical Modeling and Experimental Characterization of Sheet Molding Compound Composites

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the anisotropic behavior of SMC composites, this work combines modeling and experimental methods to explore their macroscale characteristics while considering microstructural influences. It investigates temperature-dependent thermoelastic behavior and failure mechanisms, determining material properties through experiments. The study also includes experimental biaxial damage assessments, with a parameter identification process that integrates both modeling and experimental data to validate the findings.
