Defect formation during preforming of a bi-axial non-crimp fabric with a pillar stitch pattern (2016)
Journal Article
Chen, S., McGregor, O., Harper, L., Endruweit, A., & Warrior, N. (2016). Defect formation during preforming of a bi-axial non-crimp fabric with a pillar stitch pattern. Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 91, 156-167. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compositesa.2016.09.016

To capture the asymmetrical shear behaviour of a bi-axial NCF with a pillar stitch, a non-orthogonal constitutive model was developed and implemented in finite element forming simulations. Preforming experiments indicate that the local distribution o... Read More about Defect formation during preforming of a bi-axial non-crimp fabric with a pillar stitch pattern.

Quantification of micro-scale variability in fibre bundles (2016)
Journal Article
Gommer, F., Endruweit, A., & Long, A. (2016). Quantification of micro-scale variability in fibre bundles. Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 87, 131-137. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compositesa.2016.04.019

Local variations in the random filament arrangement in carbon fibre bundles were determined by optical microscopy and automated image analysis. Successive steps of abrading, polishing and acquiring micro¬graphs of the sample surface made it feasible... Read More about Quantification of micro-scale variability in fibre bundles.
