Abstract: Nowadays there is seldom literature concerning in-plane fiber orientation variations in the thickness direction for composites after thermostamping. In present work, cross-section microscopy observations were carried out to characterize fiber orientations at different positions and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12289-020-01540-5
Abstract: The limited capability to predict material failure in composite materials and specifically in wavy composite layers has led to high margins of safety for the design of composite structures. Thus, the full lightweight potential of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/00219983231161721
Abstract: A closed-form analytical solution is developed for analyzing laminated composite curved beam with out-of-plane fiber waviness under bending. Timoshenko beam theory was adopted in derivation where the effects of shear deformation was considered for moderately… read more here.
