Journal Article
Endruweit, A., Choong, G. Y., Ghose, S., Johnson, B. A., Younkin, D. R., Warrior, N. A., & De Focatiis, D. S. (2018). Characterisation of tack for uni-directional prepreg tape employing a continuous application-and-peel test method. Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 114, 295-306. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compositesa.2018.08.027

Employing a test method with coupled application and peel phases, tack was characterised for a UD prepreg tape. Different aspects of tack were explored by varying test parameters and material condition. In addition, different surface combinations wer...

Optimisation of local in-plane constraining forces in double diaphragm forming (2018)
Journal Article
Chen, S., McGregor, O. P., Harper, L. T., Endruweit, A., & Warrior, N. A. (2018). Optimisation of local in-plane constraining forces in double diaphragm forming. Composite Structures, 201, 570-581. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compstruct.2018.06.062

© 2018 Elsevier Ltd Rigid blocks (risers) were introduced in the double diaphragm forming (DDF) process to change the local in-plane strain distribution in the diaphragms, aimed at reducing wrinkling defects in the production of fabric preforms. A tw... Read More about Optimisation of local in-plane constraining forces in double diaphragm forming.

Simulation and validation of injection-compression filling stage of liquid moulding with fast curing resins (2018)
Journal Article
Martin, F. A., Warrior, N., Simacek, P., Advani, S., Hughes, A., Darlington, R., & Senan, E. (2019). Simulation and validation of injection-compression filling stage of liquid moulding with fast curing resins. Applied Composite Materials, 26(1), 41–63. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10443-018-9682-4

Very short manufacture cycle times are required if continuous carbon fibre and epoxy composite components are to be economically viable solutions for high volume composite production for the automotive industry. Here, a manufacturing process variant... Read More about Simulation and validation of injection-compression filling stage of liquid moulding with fast curing resins.
