Composite structures formed using thin-ply laminates are of interest to aerospace and other
high-performance industries. This paper reviews recently published research into fibre …

Fibre-hybrid composites are composed of two or more fibre types in a matrix. Such
composites offer more design freedom than non-hybrid composites. The aim is often to …

Thin-ply composites are rapidly gaining interest in the composite industry, not only because
of the larger design possibilities that they offer, but also because of positive size effects that …

A comprehensive set of thin-ply pseudo-ductile unidirectional interlayer hybrid composite
materials comprising S-glass and a variety of thin carbon prepregs was designed and …

The introduction of the spread-tow thin-ply technology enabled the development of
composite plies as thin as 0.020 mm. The availability of composite plies with a broader …

A micro-mechanical finite element model of a composite sublaminate is proposed to study
the mechanical response of ultra-thin plies, consisting of a representative volume element of …

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites are highly desirable for automotive and wind
energy applications due to advantages associated with weight reduction, high stiffness and …

Laminated polymer composites are extensively used in various applications ranging from
aerospace to automotive, building to marine and offshore, and much more. These …

A micro-mechanical model is used to study the effect of ply thickness on constrained 90°
plies subjected to transverse compressive loading (in situ effect). For cross-ply sublaminates …

The use of ultra-thin plies in composite laminates offers several advantages over traditional
plies. These include increased design flexibility, improved damage tolerance, and enhanced …
