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 …

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 high-fidelity finite element (FE) model based on integrated discrete and continuum
damage modeling techniques was developed to predict damage modes, locations, sizes …

In this work, we demonstrate for the first time that the inherent low performance to out-of-
plane loading of thin-ply Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastics (CFRPs) can be overcome with …

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 …

An experimental study has been carried out to investigate the elastic and pseudo-ductile
deformation processes of carbon fibre reinforced plastics, containing low elongation (LE) …

Laminated composites with thin-ply unidirectional prepregs are popular due to their higher
in-situ strength as compared with thick-ply laminates due to different failure mechanisms …

Pseudo-ductile hybrid composites usually require thin plies. In contrast, in the present paper
unidirectional fibre-hybrid composites with conventional ply thicknesses are investigated. A …

This paper presented an experimental investigation on the damage mechanisms and
buckling behaviors of thin composite laminates under low-velocity impact and compression …

In this study, fiber metal laminates (FMLs), which consisted of thin-ply prepreg and stainless
steel layers with a ply thickness of 0.04 mm, were fabricated with the aim of suppressing the …
