Mechanics of Fibre-reinforced Materials: Theory and Applications Part IV

Submission status
Closed
This special collection of the Journal of Engineering Mathematics on the Mechanics of Fibre-reinforced Materials (FRMs) is the fourth such issue on this topic within a period of just over ten years. Following the three previous special issues [1-3], it continues the promotion of high quality research in the mechanics of fibre-reinforced materials, with a particular focus on materials subject to large deformations. All the relevant historical background, motivation and research trends that underpin this ongoing effort are detailed in the prefaces of [1-3] and are all still valid. The mathematical theory of FRMs continues to develop while applications continue to proliferate in several different parts of applied mechanics and engineering, physics and biology. The research papers involved in this new special issue reflect the above observations and, hence, support and enhance the aims and aspirations of this developing subject.
