Modern engineering practice requires advanced numerical modeling because, among other things, it reduces the costs associated with prototyping or predicting the occurrence of potentially dangerous situations during operation in certain defined conditions. Different methods have so far been used to implement the real structure into the numerical version. The most popular have been variations of the finite element method (FEM). The aim of this Special Issue has been to familiarize the reader with the latest applications of the FEM for the modeling and analysis of diverse mechanical problems. Authors are encouraged to provide a concise description of the specific application or a potential application of the Special Issue.

The dynamic mechanical behavior of thermoplastic composites over a wide range of strain rates has become an important research topic for extreme environmental survivability in the fields of military protection, aircraft safety, and aerospace engineering. However, the dynamic compression response in the out-of-plane direction, which is one of the most important loading conditions resulting in the damage of composite materials, has not been investigated thoroughly when compared to in-plane compression and tensile behavior under high strain rates. Thus, we used split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) tests to conduct the out-of-plane compression test of cross-ply carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone (AS4/PEEK) composite laminates. Afterward, the damage mechanism under different strain rates was characterized by the macrostructure morphologies and scanning electron microscope micrographs. Two major cases of the incomplete failure condition and complete failure condition were discussed. Dynamic stress-strain curves expound the strain rates dependencies of elastic modulus, failure strength, and failure strain. An obvious spring-back process could be observed under incomplete failure tests. For the complete failure tests, secondary loading could be observed by reconstructing and comparing the dynamic response history. Lastly, various failure modes that occurred in different loading strain rates illustrate that the damage mechanism also shows obvious strain rate sensitivity.

An experimental study on the effects of braided processes on the torsional strength, torsional modulus and failure modes of the three-dimensional braided composite tubes are presented. Based on the movement of carries, the yarn traces of three-dimensional braided composite tubes are analyzed systematically. Four different three-dimensional braided composite tubes are formed by resin transfer molding, and a number of torsional tests are performed respectively using a special test device. It is found that the torsional strength of three-dimensional five-directional braided composite tubes is higher than others, while the torsional modulus of three-dimensional multi-layer wrapping braided composite tubes is the highest. Furthermore, the damage behaviors of 3D braided composite tubes are significantly influenced by braiding process. One focus is to evaluate the damage mechanism of three-dimensional braided composite tubes by cutting the specimens and using scanning electron microscopy. Under torsional load, three-dimensional five-directional braided composite tubes and three-dimensional surface-core five-directional braided composite tubes are fractured in compression and shear failure, while three-dimensional multi-layer wrapping braided composite tubes and three-dimensional seven-directional braided composite tubes are split open in tensile and shear failure.
