Fabric sensors – modelling deformation in knitted fabrics (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Miller, K., Brown, L. P., & McNally, D. (2018, March). Fabric sensors – modelling deformation in knitted fabrics. Paper presented at 8th World Conference on 3D Fabrics and Their Applications, Manchester, UK

Fabric sensors are made from knitted conductive yarn and can be used to measure extension in wearable technologies and composite structures. Wearable technologies have considerable potential in sport and medical applications, for example recording li... Read More about Fabric sensors – modelling deformation in knitted fabrics.

Geometric modeling of 3D woven preforms in composite T-joints (2017)
Journal Article
Yan, S., Zeng, X., Brown, L., & Long, A. (in press). Geometric modeling of 3D woven preforms in composite T-joints. Textile Research Journal, https://doi.org/10.1177/0040517517712098

A common method to fabricate net-shaped three-dimensional (3D) woven preforms for composite T-joints is to weave flat 3D preforms via a standard weaving machine with variation in binder yarn path and then separate the preform in the form of a bifurca...

Modelling framework for optimum multiaxial 3D woven textile composites (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Brown, L. P., Gommer, F., Zeng, X., & Long, A. C. Modelling framework for optimum multiaxial 3D woven textile composites. Presented at 7th World Conference in 3D Fabrics and Their Applications

The application of 3D weaves has advantages over conventional uni-directional or 2D woven lay-ups. There is potential to produce near net-shaped preforms and to increase damage resistance due to the presence of through thickness reinforcement. Conven...

Effects of layer shift and yarn path variability on mechanical properties of a twill weave composite (2016)
Journal Article
Matveev, M. Y., Long, A. C., Brown, L. P., & Jones, I. A. (in press). Effects of layer shift and yarn path variability on mechanical properties of a twill weave composite. Journal of Composite Materials, https://doi.org/10.1177/0021998316655870

Experimental and numerical analysis of a woven composite were performed in order to assess the effect of yarn path and layer shift variability on properties of the composite. Analysis of the geometry of a 12K carbon fibre 2×2 twill weave at the meso-... Read More about Effects of layer shift and yarn path variability on mechanical properties of a twill weave composite.
