Out-of-plane fiber waviness, also referred to as wrinkling, is considered one of the most
significant effects that occur in composite materials. It significantly affects mechanical …

Composite materials have gained popularity in automotive industries due to its lightweight
potential, good damping behaviour as well as high strength and stiffness properties. Based …

The quality of Liquid Composite Molding (LCM) manufactured components is strictly related
to the fibrous preform impregnation. As Darcy's law suggests, the resin flow is influenced by …

Accurate and cost-effective full-scale measurement of fibre waviness and misalignment in
continuous fibre-reinforced composite structures remains a challenge. This study proposes a …

The leakage flows within the gap between the tips of unshrouded rotor blades and the
stationary casing of high-speed turbines are the source of significant aerodynamic losses …

This study investigates the effect of component geometry on the wrinkling mechanisms of
non-crimp fabrics (NCFs) during preforming. Using 3D digital image correlation, the …

With growing environmental awareness, natural fibers have recently received significant
interest as reinforcement in polymer composites. Among natural fibers, silk can potentially …

Vacuum-assisted resin infusion (VARI) process has been proven to be an effective-cost
technology for manufacturing large-scale composite structure with complex geometries and …

Solid resins (SR) are fully reactive resin systems that are solid at room temperature. Up to a
critical temperature they can be quasi‐infinitely molten and solidified without any relevant …

The resin flow control strategies of the Liquid Composite Molding (LCM) process are
affected by the mold geometry, resin, and preform properties as well as the process …
