Mesoscale geometric modelling of bifurcation in 3D woven T-beam preforms (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Brown, L. P., Yan, S., Zeng, X., & Long, A. C. (2015). Mesoscale geometric modelling of bifurcation in 3D woven T-beam preforms.

Manipulation of the through-thickness yarn path enables 3D woven reinforcement to separate locally in the form of a bifurcation, creating net-shaped preforms for T- and I-beams. Preforming introduces fibre architecture deformation at the 3D woven bif... Read More about Mesoscale geometric modelling of bifurcation in 3D woven T-beam preforms.

A comparison of crossover control mechanisms within single-point selection hyper-heuristics using HyFlex (2015)
