Journal Article
Xu, F., Arthur Jones, I., & Li, S. (2022). A theoretical framework underlying an accelerated testing method and its application to composites under constant strain rates and fatigue loading. Science and Engineering of Composite Materials, 29(1), 488-499. https://doi.org/10.1515/secm-2022-0012

A theoretical framework that underlies an accelerated testing method for unidirectional (UD) composites is proposed in this article, based on the continuum damage mechanics and time-temperature superposition. By the way of demonstration, it has been...

Laminated beams/shafts of annular cross-section subject to combined loading (2022)
Journal Article
Li, S., Johnson, M. S., Sitnikova, E., Evans, R., & Mistry, P. J. (2023). Laminated beams/shafts of annular cross-section subject to combined loading. Thin-Walled Structures, 182(Part A), Article 110153. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tws.2022.110153

A novel stress analysis method is developed for the efficient design of radially laminated annular beams/shafts subject to arbitrary load combinations. The analysis is conducted using classic laminate theory (CLT) in conjunction with a mechanics of m... Read More about Laminated beams/shafts of annular cross-section subject to combined loading.

Controllable parameters as the essential components in the analysis, manufacturing and design of 3D woven composites (2022)
Journal Article
Sitnikova, E., Xu, M., Kong, W., & Li, S. (2022). Controllable parameters as the essential components in the analysis, manufacturing and design of 3D woven composites. Composites Science and Technology, 230, Article 109730. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compscitech.2022.109730

The comprehensive design feasibility for woven composites has been established by identifying the missing component in the design tool for these materials, the so-called controllable parameters. These are the parameters that are involved, directly or... Read More about Controllable parameters as the essential components in the analysis, manufacturing and design of 3D woven composites.
