Multiscale Characterization and Modelling of Polyurethane Foams

Abstract

Javier LLorca of the Composite Materials group and Mechanics of Materials group, respectively, at IMDEA Materials Institute. The office doors of both Prof. Javier LLorca office and Dr. Cláudio S. Lopes were always open whenever I ran into a trouble or had a question about my research or writing. They consistently allowed this PhD research to be my own work, but steered me in the right the direction whenever he thought I needed it. I would also like to thank the experts who were involved in this research project:

Influences of Microstructure Characteristics on Forming Limit Behavior of Dual Phase Steels

“…[7] Different failure modes occurred due to incompatible deformation of the hard martensite and soft ferrite matrix. The 2D RVE model was used by Marvi-Mashhadi et al [25] to predict strain localization under shear dominant failure modein DP steels. It was found that calculated failure strains decreased by increasing initial yield stress and martensitic phase fraction.…”
