Experimental characterisation of textile compaction response: A benchmark exercise (2020)
Journal Article
Yong, A., Aktas, A., May, D., Endruweit, A., Lomov, S., Advani, S., …Wang, J. (2021). Experimental characterisation of textile compaction response: A benchmark exercise. Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 142, Article 106243. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compositesa.2020.106243

This paper reports the results of an international benchmark exercise on the measurement of fibre bed compaction behaviour. The aim was to identify aspects of the test method critical to obtain reliable results and to arrive at a recommended test pro...

Adaptation of material deposition parameters to account for out-time effects on prepreg tack (2020)
Journal Article
Smith, A., Endruweit, A., Choong, G., De Focatiis, D., & Hubert, P. (2020). Adaptation of material deposition parameters to account for out-time effects on prepreg tack. Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 133, Article 105835. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compositesa.2020.105835

A single-stage peel method was employed to determine the relationship between key processing parameters and tack for a standard aerospace carbon/epoxy prepreg subjected to various levels of room-temperature out-time. The temperature-dependent viscoel... Read More about Adaptation of material deposition parameters to account for out-time effects on prepreg tack.

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.
