Fiber-reinforced composites are widely used in aerospace and other high-tech industries. Understanding how their microstructure and the strength of the fiber-matrix interfaces affect their failure ...

Elastic instability is the set of structural situations of geometric non-linearity that manifests itself in that the displacements in a resistant member are not proportional to the acting forces 1.

Suture-based transverse aortic constriction (TAC) in mice is one of the most frequently used experimental models for cardiac pressure overload-induced heart failure. However, the incidence of heart ...
