Journal Article
Yan, S., Matveev, M., Qi, W., & Warrior, N. (2025). Simplified model for the tool-part interaction in spring-in of L-shape composite laminates. Composite Structures, 362, Article 119022. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compstruct.2025.119022

Manufacturing of fibre-reinforced composites is often accompanied by process-induced distortions, primarily due to the anisotropy of the composites constituents (fibres and matrix), their thermo-chemical interactions, and the interaction between the...

A novel damage evolution model for unidirectional (UD) composites is established in this paper in the context of continuum damage mechanics (CDM). It addresses matrix cracking and it is to be applied along with the damage representation established p...
