The impetus for higher performance, robustness and efficiency in the aerospace, automotive
and energy industries has been reflected in more stringent requirements which the …

This review shows the potential of using the Representative Volume Element concept for the
multi-scale simulation of 3D woven high performance thermoset composites manufactured …

This paper addresses the multi-objective optimisation of the cure stage of composites
manufacture. The optimisation aims to minimise the cure process duration and maximum …

Boron phenolic resin (BPR) is one of the most extensively utilized matrix resins in ablative
field due to its outstanding heat resistance and ablation performance. However, the existing …

During the curing process, the exothermic cross-linking reaction inside epoxy resin-based
composites causes overheating and, eventually, a thermal degradation of the matrix. Thick …

A stochastic multi-objective cure optimisation methodology is developed in this work and
applied to the case of thick epoxy/carbon fibre laminates. The methodology takes into …

In Liquid Composite Molding (LCM), resin impregnates the fiber preform and it subsequently
cures to form the composite part. The curing phenomenon is an exothermic process, and it …

Thermal gradient and temperature overshoot during the curing process of ultra-thick carbon
fibre composite have a major impact on its properties. We present a strategy to optimize the …

High temperature mechanical properties are crucial for successful application of carbon fiber
(CF) reinforced composites in aerospace engineering field etc. Here CF reinforced …

The paper deals with the influence of the convection coefficient and laminate thickness on
multi-objective optimisation of the vacuum assisted resin transfer moulding cure stage for the …
