posted on 2018-02-21, 03:21 authored by VIJENDRA KUMAR MOHONEEThis thesis will present an investigation of several parameters on the mechanical properties of a capsule based self-healing composite material subject to small static strains. The research will be carried out using computational modelling. The purpose of the research is to establish a finite element model for rapid analysis of capsule based composites which can be further enhanced in future research to include the ability to model composite fracture, self-healing process and subsequent post-healing behaviour.
