Effect of yarn cross-sectional shape on resin flow through inter-yarn gaps in textile reinforcements (2017)
Journal Article
Endruweit, A., Zeng, X., Matveev, M. Y., & Long, A. C. (2018). Effect of yarn cross-sectional shape on resin flow through inter-yarn gaps in textile reinforcements. Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 104, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compositesa.2017.10.020

Axial flow through gaps between aligned straight yarns with realistic cross-sectional shapes, described by power-ellipses, was analysed numerically. At a given fibre volume fraction, equivalent gap permeabilities have a maximum at minimum size of elo...

Double diaphragm forming simulation for complex composite structures (2017)
Journal Article
Chen, S., McGregor, O., Endruweit, A., Elsmore, M., De Focatiis, D., Harper, L., & Warrior, N. (2017). Double diaphragm forming simulation for complex composite structures. Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 95, 346-358. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compositesa.2017.01.017

A finite element (FE) model has been developed to simulate the double diaphragm forming (DDF) process, to identify potential defects when forming complex 3D preforms from 2D biaxial non-crimp fabric plies. Three different metrics have been introduced... Read More about Double diaphragm forming simulation for complex composite structures.
