Automated Dry Fibre Placement (ADFP) is a version of Automated Fibre Placement (AFP) where prepreg tapes are substituted with dry fibre tapes. In this process, a uniform compaction pressure applied by a compaction roller is required to manufacture pr...

The effect of stacking sequence, specimen thickness, tooling material and curing cycle on process induced distortions of L-shape composite structures is investigated experimentally and numerically. Sixty specimens were manufactured, and their spring-... Read More about Spring-in of composite L-shape specimens: An experimental and numerical investigation.
