Introduction (2023)
Book Chapter

Fibre-reinforced polymer composites are acknowledged to offer some of the highest specific properties (stiffness, strength) of any engineering materials, but this chapter takes a look at why these materials are not more widely adopted for general str... Read More about Introduction.

Cost, rate, and robustness (2023)
Book Chapter

This chapter outlines the most important considerations for the economic evaluation of composites, as assessing both cost and performance in parallel is critical for designing and manufacturing efficient applications. The cost of raw materials is oft... Read More about Cost, rate, and robustness.

Two-dimensional to three-dimensional dry fibre preforming (2023)
Book Chapter

Preforming is the process of converting two-dimensional (2D) intermediate fibre products, such as fabrics and mats, into complex three-dimensional (3D) shapes to resemble the geometry of the final component. Preforming is a necessary step for all liq... Read More about Two-dimensional to three-dimensional dry fibre preforming.

Design and Manufacture of Structural Composites (2023)
Book

Design and Manufacture of Structural Composites provides an overview of the main manufacturing challenges encountered when processing fibre-reinforced composite materials. Composites are unique in that the material is created at the same time as the... Read More about Design and Manufacture of Structural Composites.

Chronic back pain prevalence at small area level in England - the design and validation of a 2-stage static spatial microsimulation model (2023)
Journal Article

Spatially disaggregated estimates provide valuable insights into the nature of a disease. They highlight inequalities, aid public health planning and identify avenues for further research. Spatial microsimulation is advantageous in that it can be use...
