A novel methodology to quantify shape complexity of composite aerospace parts (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Chowdhury, M. T., & Turner, T. (2019). A novel methodology to quantify shape complexity of composite aerospace parts

Composite materials are increasingly being used to produce aerospace parts due to their versatility when compared to metal counterparts. The design freedom afforded by composites and their manufacturing allow design engineers the possibility to creat...

A probabilistic approach for trade-off analysis of composite wing structures at the conceptual phase of design (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Bacharoudis, K., Turner, T., Popov, A., & Ratchev, S. (2019). A probabilistic approach for trade-off analysis of composite wing structures at the conceptual phase of design. In S. Ratchev (Ed.), Precision Assembly in the Digital Age (103-113). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-05931-6_10

One of the major elements when performing a design for manufacturing and assembly methodology is the cost modelling method. A probabilistic cost approach is introduced herein for the series production of a composite wing structure. The proposed metho...

Effect of fibre suspension jet stability on alignment quality of discontinuous carbon fibre tapes (2019)
Journal Article
Liu, Z., Turner, T., Wong, K., & Pickering, S. (2019). Effect of fibre suspension jet stability on alignment quality of discontinuous carbon fibre tapes. International Journal of Multiphase Flow, 120, Article 103102. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijmultiphaseflow.2019.103102

A hydrodynamic alignment process has been developed for converting discontinuous random carbon fibres into tapes with a highly aligned orientation distribution to greatly improve the applicability of recovered fibres to composite parts....
