Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Composite material
  • Quantum mechanics
  • Finite element method

Silvestre T. Pinho mainly focuses on Composite material, Finite element method, Epoxy, Composite number and Ultimate tensile strength. His Constitutive equation research extends to the thematically linked field of Composite material. His Finite element method research integrates issues from Matrix, Delamination, Fracture mechanics and Computer simulation.

The concepts of his Ultimate tensile strength study are interwoven with issues in Compressive strength, Fracture toughness and Failure mode and effects analysis. His work deals with themes such as Damage tolerance, Astm standard, Laminated composites and Tension, which intersect with Fracture toughness. Silvestre T. Pinho interconnects Element, Polynomial and Compression in the investigation of issues within Fracture.

His most cited work include:

  • Recycling carbon fibre reinforced polymers for structural applications: technology review and market outlook. (430 citations)
  • Physically-based failure models and criteria for laminated fibre-reinforced composites with emphasis on fibre kinking: Part I: Development (344 citations)
  • Fracture toughness of the tensile and compressive fibre failure modes in laminated composites (338 citations)
