Special Issue: Environmental Durability of Composite Materials and Structures
Dear Colleagues,
We are guest-editing a special issue of Applied Composite Materials (IF 2.3, an SCI-indexed journal of Springer, no publication fee) with a theme of Environmental Durability of Composite Materials and Structures. This Special Issue will provide a platform for researchers to share their latest progress in the study of the environmental durability of composite materials and structures. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:
PhD (4 years) on micromechanical testing and interface characterization of composites
We are looking for a PhD student for a research project on microscale mechanical characterization of fiber reinforced polymer composites using in-situ microscopic techniques. Much more fundamental insights and measurements at the micro-scale are necessary to enable fully predictive multi-scale modelling and faster adaptation of composites. Therefore, we have developed advanced micromechanical test methods for fibre reinforced polymer composites based on in-situ optical and electron microscopy during loading.
