Damage tolerance is of critical importance to laminated composite structures. In this paper, we present a new semi-analytical method for predicting the strain at which delamination propagation will initiate following...
Continuous variation of stiffness across flat plates has been shown, theoretically, to improve buckling performance by up to 60%. However, steered fibre manufacturing methods cannot achieve the minimum radius of curvature...
A significant increase in the rate of composite manufacture is needed to meet demand for short-range commercial aircraft. The enabling automated manufacturing processes can, however, induce undesirable process features such...
A novel Bayesian optimisation framework is proposed for the design of stronger stacking sequences in composite laminates. The framework is the first to incorporate high-fidelity progressive damage finite element modelling in...
