Inspection reliability of small-scale defects, targeting dimensions below 100 µm, is crucial for
structural safety of critical components in high-value applications. Early defects are often …

With the development of X-ray computed tomography over the last few decades, it is
gradually considered to be a powerful tool in the field of materials research. This paper …

X-ray computed tomography (XCT) is increasingly being used for evaluating quality and
conformance of complex products, including assemblies and additively manufactured parts …

Compression moulding of carbon fibre sheet moulding compounds is an attractive
manufacturing method for composite structures. Investigating fibre orientation, defects and …

Advanced materials such as continuous carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic (CFRP)
laminates are commonly used in many industries, mainly because of their strength, stiffness …

The stitching pattern and space play important roles in the mechanical behaviour of stitched
composites, while their effects on interlaminar shear behaviour and corresponding damage …

The present study examines how wrinkles affect a composite material's compressive failure
behavior. Uni-directional carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (UD-CFRP) composites with …

Porosity represents a critical issue in composite manufacturing often leading to parts
rejection. The aim of this work was to develop a multiphysic model capable to predict the …

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are increasingly used in aerospace,
automobile, marine and power industries due to its good mechanical strength and low …

To meet the demand of lightweight truss, thin-walled single-/double-/four-cell carbon fiber
reinforced polymethacrylimide foam sandwich composite beams were manufactured by …
