Modelling framework for optimum multiaxial 3D woven textile composites (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Brown, L. P., Gommer, F., Zeng, X., & Long, A. C. (2016). Modelling framework for optimum multiaxial 3D woven textile composites.

The application of 3D weaves has advantages over conventional uni-directional or 2D woven lay-ups. There is potential to produce near net-shaped preforms and to increase damage resistance due to the presence of through thickness reinforcement. Conven...

Effects of layer shift and yarn path variability on mechanical properties of a twill weave composite (2016)
Journal Article
Matveev, M. Y., Long, A. C., Brown, L. P., & Jones, I. A. (in press). Effects of layer shift and yarn path variability on mechanical properties of a twill weave composite. Journal of Composite Materials, https://doi.org/10.1177/0021998316655870

Experimental and numerical analysis of a woven composite were performed in order to assess the effect of yarn path and layer shift variability on properties of the composite. Analysis of the geometry of a 12K carbon fibre 2×2 twill weave at the meso-... Read More about Effects of layer shift and yarn path variability on mechanical properties of a twill weave composite.
