Additive manufacturing provides precise control over the placement of continuous fibres within polymer matrices, enabling customised mechanical performance in composite components. This article explores processing strategies, mechanical testing, and modelling approaches for additive manufactured continuous fibre‐reinforced composites.

Nonlinear Multi-Frequency Dynamics of Wind Turbine Components with a Single-Mesh Helical Gear Train
A complex nonlinear model for a single-mesh helical gear train is developed by including a time-varying mesh stiffness, axial vibrations, torsional vibrations, shaft and bearing damping, generator back EMF (Electromotive Force) and gear backlashes.

Phase Field Failure Modeling: Brittle‐Ductile Dual‐Phase Microstructures under Compressive Loading
The approach by Amor and the approach by Miehe and Zhang for asymmetric damage behavior in the phase field method for fracture are compared regarding their fitness for microcrack‐based failure modeling. The comparison is performed for the case of a dual‐phase microstructure with a brittle and a ductile constituent.

Investigation of Parametric Instability of the Planetary Gear under Speed Fluctuations
Planetary gear is widely used in engineering and usually has symmetrical structure. As the number of teeth in contact changes during rotation, the time-varying mesh stiffness parametrically excites the planetary gear and may cause severe vibrations and ...

Estimation of the normal contact stiffness for frictional interface in sticking and sliding conditions [PDF]
Modeling of frictional contact systems with high accuracy needs the knowledge of several contact parameters, which are mainly related to the local phenomena at the contact interfaces and affect the complex dynamics of mechanical systems in a prominent ...

Evolution of constrained layer damping using a cellular automaton algorithm
Constrained layer damping (CLD) is a highly effective passive vibration control strategy if optimized adequately. Factors controlling CLD performance are well documented for the flexural modes of beams but not for more complicated mode shapes or ...

The Role of Architecture in the Elastic Response of Semiflexible Polymer and Fiber Networks [PDF]
We study the elasticity of cross-linked networks of thermally fluctuating stiff polymers. As compared to their purely mechanical counterparts, it is shown that these thermal networks have a qualitatively different elastic response.
