In this work, we investigated the effect of plain woven carbon fiber tape embedded in each
layer of an additively manufactured part on the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and …

Important properties of fiber-reinforced composites, such as stiffness, compression strength,
and fatigue resistance, are sensitive to fiber alignment. In this paper, we use structure tensor …

Short glass fibre injection moulded composites, used in interior and exterior automotive
parts, are exposed to complex stress states, for example during a crash. As the fibre scale …

Fiber-reinforced composites deliver lightweight but strong structures that are crucial in
applications ranging from aerospace to the automotive industry. The advent of freeform …

In this work, we compare different methods for the automatic segmentation of
