Meso-scale optimisation of 3D composites and novel preforming technologies (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Matveev, M., Long, A., & Brown, L. (2019). Meso-scale optimisation of 3D composites and novel preforming technologies

Various 3D woven composites have been studied and used in last several decades. It was demonstrated that these composites can have better delamination and impact resistance than conventional laminates. However, most of the 3D woven reinforcements hav...

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.

Modelling framework for optimum multiaxial 3D woven textile composites (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Brown, L. P., Gommer, F., Zeng, X., & Long, A. C. (2016). Modelling framework for optimum multiaxial 3D woven textile composites.

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...
