Non-crimp fabric (NCF) composites are reinforced with mats of straight (non-crimped) fibres,
giving them such advantages as strength, ease of handling and low manufacturing costs …

This review considers the influence of resin-rich volumes (RRV) on the static and dynamic
mechanical and physical behaviour of fibre-reinforced composites. The formation, shape …

The prediction of yarn buckling and distortions require detailed modelling of the fabric and
yarns deformations on the meso-level (level of the interlacing structure). In the current …

Damage in textile composites is closely connected with the internal micro-and meso-
geometry of the reinforcement, and reveals features, which are not present in the damage …

To efficiently predict the crack propagation in thin-walled structures, a global–local approach
for phase field modeling using large-deformation solid shell finite elements considering the …

A novel approach for introducing aligned multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in a
carbon–fibre composite pre-impregnated (prepreg) laminate, to improve the through …

Experimental investigation is performed to study tensile properties, damage initiation and
development in stitched carbon/epoxy composites subjected to tensile loading. T800SC …

Abstract Non-crimp-fabric (NCF) reinforced composites have been receiving attention in the
composite market due to their cost-effectiveness and excellent mechanical performance …

UD non-crimp fabric (NCF) carbon/epoxy composites were tested in longitudinal tension to
assess the influence of the stitching on the tensile failure strain of the carbon fibre layers …

Abstract Non-crimp-fabrics (NCF) are promising materials in aerospace applications. The
complex internal structure of NCF composites could influence the in-plane performances …
