Contributions of Stepan V Lomov to the research and development of composite materials

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive review of the scientific and engineering contributions of Prof. Stepan V. Lomov in a career spanning over 3 decades. Starting from his early work on the modelling of dry textiles, different aspects of composite materials have benefited from his inspiring contribution. His wide scientific curiosity drove the research on several topics, covering permeability, forming, damage, fatigue, nano-engineered composites, as well as development of analytical and numerical models at different scales. The paper presents a full spectrum of his scientific career aiming to link his achievements and the future research on composite materials.
