{c}
<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.<Lars Pilgaard Mikkelsen profile at DTU>[Personal profile, fields of interest]{ref}
He coauthored the 2020 study of <glass fibres> and <carbon fibres> with <Rajnish Kumar (materials scientist)>, <Hans Lilholt> and <Bo Madsen (materials scientist)>. The study compared modulus determinations from single-strand stress-strain measurements.<Understanding the mechanical response of glass and carbon fibres: stress-strain analysis and modulus determination by Rajnish Kumar and others>[Institutional byline and public abstract]{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.<Single fiber tensile test - Glass and Carbon fibers by Rajnish Kumar and others>[Contributor list and description of tensile/compliance files]{ref}
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.
