An interface-enriched generalized finite element method for the design of actively-cooled microvascular composites
… microchannels in actively-cooled 3D woven microvascular composite plates for high-temperature applications in hypersonic aircrafts is studied in this thesis project. Besides manufacturing constraints, the optimal network configuration in the microvascular composite depends on a variety of …

Microvascular strategies for damage restoration
… demonstrated by the incorporation of biomimetic microvascular networks within structural polymers and polymer composites. Internal networks of channels act as pathways for mass transport of liquid healing agents to damage regions that intersect the vasculature. Microvascular self-healing has …
