Characterisation of tack for uni-directional prepreg tape employing a continuous application-and-peel test method. Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 114, 295-306. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compositesa.2018.08.027

Employing a test method with coupled application and peel phases, tack was characterised for a UD prepreg tape. Different aspects of tack were explored by varying test parameters and material condition. In addition, different surface combinations wer...

Optimisation of local in-plane constraining forces in double diaphragm forming (2018)
Journal Article
Chen, S., McGregor, O. P., Harper, L. T., Endruweit, A., & Warrior, N. A. (2018). Optimisation of local in-plane constraining forces in double diaphragm forming. Composite Structures, 201, 570-581. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compstruct.2018.06.062

© 2018 Elsevier Ltd Rigid blocks (risers) were introduced in the double diaphragm forming (DDF) process to change the local in-plane strain distribution in the diaphragms, aimed at reducing wrinkling defects in the production of fabric preforms. A tw... Read More about Optimisation of local in-plane constraining forces in double diaphragm forming.

Frictional behaviour of non-crimp fabrics (NCFs) in contact with a forming tool (2018)
Journal Article
Avgoulas, E. I., Mulvihill, D. M., Endruweit, A., Sutcliffe, M. P., Warrior, N. A., De Focatiis, D. S., & Long, A. C. (2018). Frictional behaviour of non-crimp fabrics (NCFs) in contact with a forming tool. Tribology International, 121, 71-77. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.triboint.2018.01.026

Microscopic observation and analysis are used to examine the role that contact conditions play in determining the frictional behaviour of non-crimp fabrics (NCFs). The true fibre contact length is measured over a range of normal pressures. For the NC... Read More about Frictional behaviour of non-crimp fabrics (NCFs) in contact with a forming tool.

Influence of the micro-structure on saturated transverse flow in fibre arrays (2018)
Journal Article
Gommer, F., Endruweit, A., & Long, A. C. (2018). Influence of the micro-structure on saturated transverse flow in fibre arrays. Journal of Composite Materials, 52(18), 2463-2475. https://doi.org/10.1177/0021998317747954

This study analyses the influence of the random filament arrangement in fibre bundles on the resin flow behaviour. Transverse steady-state resin flow which occurs behind a liquid resin flow front was simulated numerically through statistically equiva...
