Modelling antennas in outer space using the boundary element unstructured transmission-line (BEUT) method (2015)
Presentation / Conference

In this paper the hybridization of the 2D time domain boundary element method (BEM) with the unstructured transmission line method (UTLM) is described. The novel method enables accurate modelling of radiating boundary conditions, excitation by plane...

The influence of coupling agent, fibre sizing and matrix degradation on the interfacial shear strength between carbon fibre and polypropylene (2014)
Presentation / Conference

The interface strength between carbon fibre (CF) and polypropylene (PP) was characterised using the microbond test. The effect of removing the sizing from the fibres, as well as introducing a maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MAPP) coupling age...

Studying the heterogeneity of discontinuous fiber composites using a new full-field strain measurement system (2013)
Presentation / Conference

In this paper a new multi camera digital image correlation (DIC) system is used to view strain fields from opposing surfaces of discontinuous carbon fiber composites loaded in tension. The system is investigated to understand if DIC can be used to co... Read More about Studying the heterogeneity of discontinuous fiber composites using a new full-field strain measurement system.
