Bridging the scales: From real microstructures to performance
Abstracts
The NextCOMP Team are investigating an array of concepts (and length scales) with the aim to improve fibre-reinforced composites in compression. To provide you with a greater sense of the work which is on-going in the programme please find below a selection of "abstracts" showcasing our endeavours. For further information please check the publications page for our latest results.
