An updated simulation framework for the prediction of process induced shape distortion in thermoset composites (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Traiforos, N., Turner, T., Runeberg, P., Fernass, D., Chronopoulos, D., Glock, F., & Schuhmacher, G. (2021, September). An updated simulation framework for the prediction of process induced shape distortion in thermoset composites. Presented at 8th ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on the Mechanical Response of Composites: COMPOSITES 2021, Online

A significant problem encountered during the manufacturing process of thermoset composite structures is the distortion of their shape from their CAD-nominal geometry. Shape distortions can be attributed to the residual stresses which are imposed with...

Weft Yarn Interlacement Modelling for 3D Profiled Structures (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Spackman, G., Brown, L., & Turner, T. (2021, April). Weft Yarn Interlacement Modelling for 3D Profiled Structures. Presented at 9th World Conference in 3D Fabrics and Their Applications, Online, Zhengzhou, China

Currently, generation of 3D woven T-joint models with complex weave geometries, using TexGen software, is a manual process. One of the main challenges to automatic generation of these textiles is the order in which the weft yarns interlace within the...

A probabilistic approach for trade-off analysis of composite wing structures at the conceptual phase of design (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bacharoudis, K., Turner, T., Popov, A., & Ratchev, S. (2019, January). A probabilistic approach for trade-off analysis of composite wing structures at the conceptual phase of design. Presented at 8th IFIP WG 5.5 International Precision Assembly Seminar, IPAS 2018, Chamonix, France

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...

A novel methodology to quantify shape complexity of composite aerospace parts (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chowdhury, M. T., & Turner, T. (2019, August). A novel methodology to quantify shape complexity of composite aerospace parts. Presented at The 22nd International Conference on Composites Materials (ICCM22), Melbourne, Australia

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...
