The effect of trough-the-thickness reinforcement by tufting on impact and after impact
behavior of woven carbon fiber composites is investigated. The density and angle of the …

Nonlinear reduced-order models (NLROM) have been developed to predict the
geometrically nonlinear behaviour of structures with low computational cost. NLROMs built …

A prepreg strand layup method (mat-stacking) is presented to enhance the microstructure
and mechanical properties of composite oriented strand board (COSB) produced with re …

In order to review the most effective ways to improve the mechanical properties of composite
T-beams and further increase their application potential, research progress on the …

Compression-after-impact tests were used to investigate the impact resistance of composite
panel with hat-stiffener filled with foam via good energy absorption. The low-speed impact …

Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) stiffened composite plates with and without
rectangular cutout are analysed under axial, lateral and combined axial and lateral loading …

This work presents details of manufacturing and testing of a carbon fibre
polyetheretherketone induction-welded hat-stiffened panel. Mechanical testing is carried out …

Water impacts form the critical load case for high-performance carbon fibre reinforced
polymer (CFRP) racing craft. Such events produce a peaked, non-uniform pressure …

Barely visible impact damage poses a significant threat to composite structures, particularly
prevalent in the aerospace industry. The occurrence of low velocity impact (LVI) events can …

Digital fringe projection profilometry (FPP) was used to study the mechanical behavior and
failure mode of an I-shaped stiffened panel of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) …
