Heterogeneity of discontinuous carbon fibre composites: damage initiation captured by Digital Image Correlation (2014)
Journal Article
Johanson, K., Harper, L., Johnson, M. S., & Warrior, N. (2015). Heterogeneity of discontinuous carbon fibre composites: damage initiation captured by Digital Image Correlation. Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 68, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compositesa.2014.10.014

This paper aims to identify architectural features which lead to damage initiation and failure in discontinuous carbon fibre composites formed from randomly orientated bundles. A novel multi-camera digital image correlation system was used to simulta...

The influence of coupling agent, fibre sizing and matrix degradation on the interfacial shear strength between carbon fibre and polypropylene (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Burn, D., Harper, L., Johnson, M., Warrior, N., Yang, L., & Thomason, J. (2014, June). The influence of coupling agent, fibre sizing and matrix degradation on the interfacial shear strength between carbon fibre and polypropylene. Paper presented at 16th European Conference on Composite Materials

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...

Burst strength of carbon fibre reinforced HDPE strip pipeline repair system: a numerical and experimental approach (2014)
Journal Article
Chan, P., Tshai, K., Johnson, M., Choo, H., Li, S., & Zakaria, K. (2015). Burst strength of carbon fibre reinforced HDPE strip pipeline repair system: a numerical and experimental approach. Journal of Composite Materials, 49(6), 749-756. doi:10.1177/0021998314525652

Oil and gas pipelines are susceptible to various forms of damage where repair mechanisms have since been developed for rehabilitation. Once installed, structural health monitoring often incurs excessive costs and defects rectification of the repaired...
