Fibre architecture design of 3D woven composite with genetic algorithms: a unit cell based optimisation framework and performance assessment (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Zeng, X., Long, A. C., Ashcroft, I., & Potluri, P. (2015). Fibre architecture design of 3D woven composite with genetic algorithms: a unit cell based optimisation framework and performance assessment.

There are vast possibilities in fibre architecture design of 3D woven reinforcement. This paper considers the application of Genetic Algorithm (GA) in 3D woven composites optimisation. A set of real and integral variables, representing 3D fibre archi...

Nano-hardness and microstructure of selective laser melted AlSi10Mg scan tracks (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Aboulkhair, N. T., Tuck, C., Maskery, I., Ashcroft, I., & Everitt, N. (2015). Nano-hardness and microstructure of selective laser melted AlSi10Mg scan tracks. In Industrial Laser Applications Symposium (ILAS 2015). https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2190015

Selective laser melting (SLM) of aluminium alloys faces more challenges than other ongoing alloys such as stainless steels and titanium alloys because of the material’s properties. It is important to study single scan tracks if high density large par... Read More about Nano-hardness and microstructure of selective laser melted AlSi10Mg scan tracks.
