Lars Pilgaard Mikkelsen is a researcher in the mechanics of composite materials. His DTU profile describes combining the finite element method with experimental characterization of polymer matrix composites, particularly their mechanical fatigue and compression response.[ref]

He coauthored the 2020 study of glass fibres and carbon fibres with Rajnish Kumar, Hans Lilholt and Bo Madsen. The study compared modulus determinations from single-strand stress-strain measurements.[ref]

The associated dataset identifies him by the full name Lars Pilgaard Mikkelsen and lists him as a contributor; it supplies individual tensile records and separate machine compliance calculations.[ref]Single fiber tensile test - Glass and Carbon fibers by Rajnish Kumar and others.

The measurement distinction is important for mechanics models: crosshead displacement can include movement of the test apparatus as well as specimen extension. A simulation supplied with a modulus inferred from that combined displacement can inherit an apparatus-dependent response. The single-fibre tensile test explains a numerical correction example; retaining both the individual records and the correction assumptions makes that inference inspectable. This is joint experimental work, and the cited records do not assign every instrument or analysis step to one coauthor.
