A reference specimen for compaction tests of fiber reinforcements (2019)
Journal Article
May, D., Kühn, F., Etchells, M., Fauster, E., Endruweit, A., & Lira, C. (2019). A reference specimen for compaction tests of fiber reinforcements. Advanced Manufacturing: Polymer & Composites Science, 5(4), 230-233. https://doi.org/10.1080/20550340.2019.1701826

Compaction behavior of textiles has a major influence on the outcome of various manufacturing processes for fiber reinforced polymer composites. Nevertheless, no standard exists up to date which specifies test methods or test rigs. A recent internati... Read More about A reference specimen for compaction tests of fiber reinforcements.

Simulation of the forming process for curved composite sandwich panels (2019)
Journal Article
Chen, S., McGregor, O. L., Endruweit, A., Harper, L. T., & Warrior, N. A. (2020). Simulation of the forming process for curved composite sandwich panels. International Journal of Material Forming, 13, 967–980. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12289-019-01520-4

© 2019, The Author(s). For affordable high-volume manufacture of sandwich panels with complex curvature and varying thickness, fabric skins and a core structure are simultaneously press-formed using a set of matched tools. A finite-element-based proc... Read More about Simulation of the forming process for curved composite sandwich panels.

A novel criterion for the prediction of meso-scale defects in textile preforming (2019)
Journal Article
Matveev, M. Y., Endruweit, A., De Focatiis, D. S., Long, A. C., & Warrior, N. A. (2019). A novel criterion for the prediction of meso-scale defects in textile preforming. Composite Structures, 226, Article 111263. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compstruct.2019.111263

© 2019 The Authors In numerical simulations of reinforcement preforming, fabrics are often modelled using continuum approaches with homogenised material properties in order to reduce the computational costs. To predict the occurrence of meso-scale de... Read More about A novel criterion for the prediction of meso-scale defects in textile preforming.

In-plane permeability characterization of engineering textiles based on radial flow experiments: a benchmark exercise (2019)
Journal Article
May, D., Aktas, A., Advani, S., Berg, D., Endruweit, A., Fauster, E., …Ziegmann, G. (2019). In-plane permeability characterization of engineering textiles based on radial flow experiments: a benchmark exercise. Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 121, 100-114. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compositesa.2019.03.006

Efficient process design for Liquid Composite Moulding requires knowledge of the permeability, which quantifies textile conductance for liquid flow. Yet, existing textile characterization methods have not yet been standardized, although good progress...
