Abstract

Accurate dynamic simulations of 3D fiber-reinforced materials in lightweight structures motivate our research activities. In order to accomplish this, the material reinforcement is performed by fiber rovings with a separate bending stiffness, which can be modelled by a second-order [...]

Abstract

Nowadays, fibre-reinforced materials and their accurate dynamic simulation play a significant role in the construction of lightweight structures. On the one hand, we are dealing with locking of the matrix material as well as the fibres, thermal expansion, the directed heat conduction [...]
