Development of methods for optimisation of complex 3D weave geometries (2018)
Journal Article
Spackman, G., Brown, L., & Jones, I. (2018). Development of methods for optimisation of complex 3D weave geometries. IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 406(conference 1), Article 012029. https://doi.org/10.1088/1757-899X/406/1/012029

The development of 3D weaves has resulted in the ability to produce near net shaped preforms, with the additional advantage over unidirectional lay-ups and 2D weaves of greater delamination resistance provided by through-thickness reinforcement. 3D w...

Multi-scale wave propagation modelling for two-dimensional periodic textile composites (2018)
Journal Article
Thierry, V., Brown, L., & Chronopoulos, D. (2018). Multi-scale wave propagation modelling for two-dimensional periodic textile composites. Composites Part B: Engineering, 150, 144-156. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compositesb.2018.05.052

In this article, a method allowing vibro-acoustic and ultrasonic wave propagation analysis of highly anisotropic textile composites at a mesoscopic level is presented for the first time. The method combines the advantages of mode-based Component Mode... Read More about Multi-scale wave propagation modelling for two-dimensional periodic textile composites.

Fabric sensors – modelling deformation in knitted fabrics (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Miller, K., Brown, L. P., & McNally, D. (2018). Fabric sensors – modelling deformation in knitted fabrics.

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.
