A critical review on the rationality of popular failure criteria for composites (2018)
Journal Article
Li, S., & Sitnikova, E. (2018). A critical review on the rationality of popular failure criteria for composites. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coco.2018.02.002

Popular failure criteria for fibre reinforced composites are subjected to critical scrutiny on their rationality. The rationality of a theory is about the mathematical and physical logic underlying the theory, rather than the closeness of their resul...

The Tsai-Wu failure criterion rationalised in the context of UD composites (2017)
Journal Article
Li, S., Sitnikova, E., Liang, Y., & Kaddour, A. S. (2017). The Tsai-Wu failure criterion rationalised in the context of UD composites. Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 102, 207-217. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compositesa.2017.08.007

© 2017 The Authors This paper is to rationalise the empirical aspect of the Tsai-Wu failure criterion in the context of UD composites associated with the determination of the interactive strength property F12 based on the analytic geometry. It reveal... Read More about The Tsai-Wu failure criterion rationalised in the context of UD composites.

Subtle features of delamination in cross-ply laminates due to low speed impact (2017)
Journal Article
Sitnikova, E., Li, S., Li, D., & Yi, X. (2017). Subtle features of delamination in cross-ply laminates due to low speed impact. Composites Science and Technology, 149, 149-158. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compscitech.2017.06.021

In cross-ply laminates, the shape of delamination areas, which form due to low velocity impact, have two subtle features, which have been observed consistently in numerous experiments. Those are the pointed delamination tips and the intact zone betwe... Read More about Subtle features of delamination in cross-ply laminates due to low speed impact.

A composite material characterisation tool: UnitCells (2015)
Journal Article
Li, S., Jeanmeure, L. F. C., & Pan, Q. (2015). A composite material characterisation tool: UnitCells. Journal of Engineering Mathematics, 95, 279-293. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10665-014-9776-4

Unit cells in conjunction with micromechanical finite-element analysis have been widely used as a means for material characterisation of modern composites. However, they have been mostly applied in an ad hoc manner based on individual cases. Their im... Read More about A composite material characterisation tool: UnitCells.

This paper results from a reflection on the problem of finite rotations in plates and shells and its presentation in finite element formulation, a well-attended subject with a wide diversity of treatments, often extremely complicated. For instance, t... Read More about Reflection on 'finite rotation problem' in plate and shell theories and in finite element formulation - Back to basics.

Burst strength of carbon fibre reinforced HDPE strip pipeline repair system: a numerical and experimental approach (2014)
Journal Article
Chan, P., Tshai, K., Johnson, M., Choo, H., Li, S., & Zakaria, K. (2015). Burst strength of carbon fibre reinforced HDPE strip pipeline repair system: a numerical and experimental approach. Journal of Composite Materials, 49(6), 749-756. doi:10.1177/0021998314525652

Oil and gas pipelines are susceptible to various forms of damage where repair mechanisms have since been developed for rehabilitation. Once installed, structural health monitoring often incurs excessive costs and defects rectification of the repaired...
