Thesis defense by Francis Praud, doctoral student at the Laboratory for Microstructure and Material Mechanics Studies (LEM3): "Multi-scale modeling of thermoplastic-based woven composites, cyclic and time-dependent behavior"
"In this thesis, a multi-scale model established from the concept of periodic homogenization is utilized to study the cyclic and time-dependent response of thermoplastic-based woven composites. With the proposed approach, the macroscopic behavior of the composite is determined from a finite element simulation of the representative unit cell of the periodic microstructure, where the local constitutive behaviors of the components are directly integrated, namely: the matrix and the yarns. [...]"
