Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) are prone to structural damage during extreme events such as fire. Typically, modelling the effect of fire on CFRP structures is carried out through mesoscale analysis to predict overall structural performance. In this study, Finite Element (FE) modelling has been conducted to investigate the effects of fire on CFRP specimens at both meso- and micro-scales. The mesoscale analysis informs the microscale analysis to examine the effects of fire on each constituent of the material. A comparison of thermal analysis at the meso- and micro-scales reveals less than a 6% difference in the predicted nodal temperature. For the first time, fire-induced progressive failure analysis has been conducted on the fibres, matrix, and fibre/matrix interface of representative plies within the composite laminates. Fibre breakage, matrix cracking, and interface debonding were accurately captured using representative volume element (RVE) models under thermo-mechanical loading, showing qualitatively excellent agreement with experimental data.
