The use of natural fibers in composite industry requires a deep understanding of their complex mechanical behavior related to their multiscale cellulosic structure. This article aims to investigate the tribo-mechanical ...

This article presents a 2D micromechanical model developed to predict the machining behavior of natural fiber composites using the finite element (FE) method. Natural fibers are modeled using an elasto-plastic behavior and ...

This paper aims to investigate the frictional and wear performances of natural flax fibers reinforced polypropylene composites subjected to lubricated mechanical polishing. Particularly, the interactions between the ...

Organizations seeking to improve their performance, like Corporate Social Responsibility targets, face a key organisational design challenge. Designing the key components of the organization and their layout will have major ...
