In this study, a continuum-based model was developed in combination with a statistical approach to develop a model that is not complicated yet can guide design engineers by predicting elastic modulus of nanocomposites. The model is based on a modified three-phase Mori-Tanaka model, which accounts for the filler, agglomerate, and matrix regions. The Monte-Carlo method was adopted to predict agglomeration tendency of nanofillers.

To provide a more cost-effective solution for wood framing support systems, this paper proposes a simulation-driven redesign. The simulation model was built on existing data from current machinery, enabling users to modify design parameters and machine logic without incurring costs associated with prototyping.

The goal of this thesis is to present an investigation on three-dimensional braids produced from a rotary three-dimensional braider. Additionally, to develop a geometric and finite element models using sub-modelling. And to create a model for predicting the axial and transverse tensile elastic moduli of the 3D braids.

In this work, a commercial 3D-printer was used to produce 3D printed polyurethane-based SMP specimens. An annealing heat treatment was applied to some of the specimens. Mechanical and thermo-mechanical testing was conducted to study the effects of testing temperatures and annealing heat treatments on the tensile and shape memory properties of the samples.
