New model-based concepts for nano-engineered polymer composites. This project aims at developing a new class of polymer composites that will respond differently to externally applied mechanical loads as compared to traditional composite materials. New concepts to control damage accumulation and failure will be proposed for the development of polymer composites with a breakthrough performance in damage resistance. Focus will be on modelling, ...
