A nonlocal elastic shell model is utilized, which accounts for the small scale effects and encompasses its classical continuum...

... ultimate strength and the modulus of elasticity of the tested laminate with or without embedded PFCS are within 7% of each other. The stress–life (S-N) curves obtained from fatigue tests indicates that the fatigue lives and strengths with and without the PFCS are close to each other as well. From short...

The Gent constitutive model for the stress–stretch response has been shown to provide a nearly equivalent rubber elastic behavior as that of the widely used eight-chain model. By combining the simpler stress–stretch relationship from...

Both linear elasticity and simple hyperelasticity (neo-Hookean and Mooney) are based on the assumption that the shear...

.... The relationships between fatigue crack growth rate (da/dN), stress intensity factor ( Δ K ) , and strain energy release rate ( Δ G ) were determined; and damage behavior was discussed. Both linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) and compliance method were used, and the results were compared with each other...
