Wood-plastic composites (WPC) have a wide range of applications in outdoor decking, automotive interior substrates, packaging, furniture, housing, and cladding, and their current worldwide production ...

We consider fiber reinforced ideally plastic composites. We analyze a mathematical model valid for microstructures and applied stresses that lead to both microscopic and macroscopic anti-plane shear ...

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have used computer simulations to model how a composite material reacts to loading. They studied a particle model of a pillar of stiffer ...
