Analysis of roller compaction pressure distribution in automated dry fibre placement (2023)
Journal Article
Lu, S., Evans, A., & Turner, T. (2023). Analysis of roller compaction pressure distribution in automated dry fibre placement. Composite Structures, 316, Article 117048. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compstruct.2023.117048

Automated Dry Fibre Placement (ADFP) is a version of Automated Fibre Placement (AFP) where prepreg tapes are substituted with dry fibre tapes. In this process, a uniform compaction pressure applied by a compaction roller is required to manufacture pr...

Spring-in of composite L-shape specimens: An experimental and numerical investigation (2023)
Journal Article
Traiforos, N., Matveev, M., Chronopoulos, D., & Turner, T. (2023). Spring-in of composite L-shape specimens: An experimental and numerical investigation. Composite Structures, 310, Article 116772. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compstruct.2023.116772

The effect of stacking sequence, specimen thickness, tooling material and curing cycle on process induced distortions of L-shape composite structures is investigated experimentally and numerically. Sixty specimens were manufactured, and their spring-... Read More about Spring-in of composite L-shape specimens: An experimental and numerical investigation.
