RAPID analysis of variable stiffness beams and plates: Legendre polynomial triple-product formulation (2017)
Journal Article
O'Donnell, M. P., & Weaver, P. M. (2017). RAPID analysis of variable stiffness beams and plates: Legendre polynomial triple-product formulation. International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, 112(1), 86-100. https://doi.org/10.1002/nme.5528

Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Numerical integration techniques are commonly employed to formulate the system matrices encountered in the analysis of variable stiffness beams and plates using a Ritz based approach. Computing these integra... Read More about RAPID analysis of variable stiffness beams and plates: Legendre polynomial triple-product formulation.

Can tailored non-linearity of hierarchical structures inform future material development? (2016)
Journal Article
O'Donnell, M. P., Weaver, P. M., & Pirrera, A. (2016). Can tailored non-linearity of hierarchical structures inform future material development?. Extreme Mechanics Letters, 7, 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eml.2016.01.006

© 2016 Elsevier Ltd. An analytical investigation into the non-linear elastic response of helical lattice structures coupled with an elastic medium is presented. Novel composite templates are then obtained to produce bespoke material characteristics b...

Cure rate tailoring of thick composites via temperature controlled vascular pathways (2016)
Conference Proceeding
O'Donnell, M. P., Mahadik, Y., & Ward, C. (2016). Cure rate tailoring of thick composites via temperature controlled vascular pathways. In 57th AIAA/ASCE/AHS/ASC Structures, Structural Dynamics, and Materials Conference. https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2016-0161

© 2015 American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Cure gradients in thick composite parts can lead to significant manufacturing defects. These gradients often arise due temperature differentials across the part due to differentials in extern...
