An updated simulation framework for the prediction of process induced shape distortion in thermoset composites (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Traiforos, N., Turner, T., Runeberg, P., Fernass, D., Chronopoulos, D., Glock, F., & Schuhmacher, G. (2021). An updated simulation framework for the prediction of process induced shape distortion in thermoset composites. In 8th ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on the Mechanical Response of Composites: COMPOSITES 2021

A significant problem encountered during the manufacturing process of thermoset composite structures is the distortion of their shape from their CAD-nominal geometry. Shape distortions can be attributed to the residual stresses which are imposed with...

Weft Yarn Interlacement Modelling for 3D Profiled Structures (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Spackman, G., Brown, L., & Turner, T. (2021). Weft Yarn Interlacement Modelling for 3D Profiled Structures. In Proceedings of the 9th World Conference in 3D Fabrics and Their Applications

Currently, generation of 3D woven T-joint models with complex weave geometries, using TexGen software, is a manual process. One of the main challenges to automatic generation of these textiles is the order in which the weft yarns interlace within the...

A novel methodology to quantify shape complexity of composite aerospace parts (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Chowdhury, M. T., & Turner, T. (2019). A novel methodology to quantify shape complexity of composite aerospace parts

Composite materials are increasingly being used to produce aerospace parts due to their versatility when compared to metal counterparts. The design freedom afforded by composites and their manufacturing allow design engineers the possibility to creat...

A probabilistic approach for trade-off analysis of composite wing structures at the conceptual phase of design (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Bacharoudis, K., Turner, T., Popov, A., & Ratchev, S. (2019). A probabilistic approach for trade-off analysis of composite wing structures at the conceptual phase of design. In S. Ratchev (Ed.), Precision Assembly in the Digital Age (103-113). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-05931-6_10

One of the major elements when performing a design for manufacturing and assembly methodology is the cost modelling method. A probabilistic cost approach is introduced herein for the series production of a composite wing structure. The proposed metho...
