Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue titled “Advanced Experimental Mechanics in Polymer Composites Testing” aims to highlight innovative approaches and methodologies in the testing and analysis of polymer composites. As these materials gain prominence in various sectors, including aerospace, automotive, and construction, understanding their mechanical behavior under diverse loading conditions becomes paramount.
This Issue will feature a collection of original research article/review papers that explore the mechanical characterization of polymer composites, including tensile, compressive, and impact testing, as well as the effects of environmental factors on their performance. Additionally, interdisciplinary studies that combine experimental results with computational modeling to enhance material understanding will be welcomed. By fostering collaboration among researchers and industry professionals, this Special Issue aims to advance the field of polymer composites and promote innovative testing strategies.
