The increasing demand for lightweight, multifunctional structures in aerospace and civil engineering applications has driven significant interest in hyperelastic composite laminates. These materials, capable of undergoing large deformations while maintaining structural integrity, are particularly suited for deployable space structures, high altitude airships, inflatable antennas, and tensile fabric architectures. However, accurate prediction of their mechanical behavior […]

In diverse domains of engineering and high-performance applications, the use of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Matrix Composites (FRPMCs) and Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) has experienced rapid and sustained growth. This trend is primarily attributable to their high specific stiffness, elevated strength-to-weight ratio, low Coefficients of Thermal Expansion (CTE), and inherently lightweight characteristics, coupled with the ability to […]
