Experimental and numerical investigations on the impact behaviour of pristine and patch-repaired composite laminates. Philosophical Transactions A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 380(2232), Article 20210340. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsta.2021.0340

The present paper investigates the impact behaviour of both pristine carbon-fibre-reinforced-plastic (CFRP) composite laminates and repaired CFRP laminates. For the patch-repaired CFRP specimen, the pristine CFRP panel specimen has been damaged by cu...

Multiscale viscoplastic modeling of recycled glass fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites: Experimental and numerical investigations. Composites Part B: Engineering, 242, Article 110087. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compositesb.2022.110087

One of the main challenges facing fiber-reinforced polymer composites is the lack of options for end-of-life recycling. The environmental impact of waste materials disposed of at landfill sites, by incineration, or by erratic dispersion in the enviro...

The effectiveness of patch repairs to restore the impact properties of carbon-fibre reinforced-plastic composites (2022)
Journal Article
Hall, Z. E., Liu, J., Brooks, R. A., Liu, H., Crocker, J. W., Joesbury, A. M., …Dear, J. P. (2022). The effectiveness of patch repairs to restore the impact properties of carbon-fibre reinforced-plastic composites. Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 270, Article 108570. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.engfracmech.2022.108570

The present paper studies the low-velocity impact testing of carbon-fibre reinforced-plastic (CFRP) pristine and patch-repair CFRP panels. Firstly, the effect of repeated impacts on the pristine CFRP damage growth is considered at impact energies of...

Design guidelines for hybrid continuous/discontinuous carbon fibre laminates (2022)
Journal Article
Evans, A. D., Turner, T. A., Harper, L. T., & Warrior, N. A. (2022). Design guidelines for hybrid continuous/discontinuous carbon fibre laminates. Journal of Composite Materials, 56(10), 1513-1527. https://doi.org/10.1177/00219983221078786

Combining discontinuous carbon fibre moulding compounds with unidirectional (UD) non-crimp fabric has been studied as a potential solution for producing cost effective composite structures, with short cycle times via compression moulding. The tensile... Read More about Design guidelines for hybrid continuous/discontinuous carbon fibre laminates.
