Experimental and numerical investigations on the impact behaviour of pristine and patch-repaired composite laminates (2022)
Journal Article

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 (2022)
Journal Article

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

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

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.
