Electro-thermal and mechanical performance of multi-wall carbon nanotubes buckypapers embedded in fibre reinforced polymer composites for ice protection applications. Journal of Composite Materials, 54(23), 3457-3469. https://doi.org/10.1177/0021998320915639

Several ice protection strategies have been developed to overcome the icing hazards in the aerospace industry. The electro-thermal method is one of the popular approaches to prevent ice accretion and accumulation on aircraft surfaces. Given the incre...

A macroscale finite element approach for simulating the bending behaviour of biaxial fabrics (2020)
Journal Article
Yu, F., Chen, S., Viisainen, J., Sutcliffe, M., Harper, L., & Warrior, N. (2020). A macroscale finite element approach for simulating the bending behaviour of biaxial fabrics. Composites Science and Technology, 108078. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compscitech.2020.108078

A macroscale finite element (FE) model was developed to simulate the forming behaviour of biaxial fabrics, incorporating the effects of bending stiffness to predict fabric wrinkling. The dependency of the bending stiffness on the fibre orientation wa... Read More about A macroscale finite element approach for simulating the bending behaviour of biaxial fabrics.

Modelling the permeability of random discontinuous carbon fibre preforms (2020)
Journal Article
Xiao, Z., Liu, X., Harper, L. T., Endruweit, A., & Warrior, N. A. (2020). Modelling the permeability of random discontinuous carbon fibre preforms. Journal of Composite Materials, 54(20), 2739-2751. https://doi.org/10.1177/0021998320902506

A force-directed algorithm was developed to create representative geometrical models of fibre distributions in Directed Carbon Fibre Preforms (DCFP). Local permeability values were calculated for the preform models depending on the local fibre orient... Read More about Modelling the permeability of random discontinuous carbon fibre preforms.
