Representative Volume Elements and Unit Cells: Concepts, Theory, Applications and Implementation (2020)
Book

Numerical methods to estimate material properties usually involve analysis of a representative volume element (RVE) or unit cell (UC). The representative volume element (RVE) or unit cell (UC) is the smallest volume over which a measurement can be ma...

Unification and parameterisation of 2D and 3D weaves and the formulation of a unit cell for composites made of such preforms (2020)
Journal Article

In this paper, the method to unify the definition of woven architectures in textile composites over a wide range of variations has been established. This was achieved via parametrisation of the weaves, which was conducted employing a limited set of c...
