Prediction of the Effective Properties of Textile Composites based on X-ray Computed Tomography Data KU Leuven
Modelling the geometry and the mechanical properties has been an important part of the research in composite materials. Accurate models are necessary to understand the mechanical behaviour and predict structural response of composite parts and structures. This thesis aims at bridging the gap between the highly detailed 3D imaging capabilities of X-ray computed tomography (CT) and the modelling of composite materials, by developing a modelling ...
