Detection of barely visible impact damage in polymeric laminated composites using a biomimetic tactile whisker (2021)
Journal Article

This is a novel investigation on the possibility of detecting barely visible impact damage (BVID) in composite materials by whisking across the surface via tactile whisker sensors that resemble rats' whiskers. A series of drop tower low-velocity impa... Read More about Detection of barely visible impact damage in polymeric laminated composites using a biomimetic tactile whisker.

A comparative study on glass and carbon fibre reinforced laminated composites in scaled quasi-static indentation tests (2020)
Journal Article

This paper investigates the effect of fibre properties of composite structures on the mechanical performance and formation of low-velocity impact damage. Quasi-static indentation tests were conducted on a comprehensive set of scaled Quasi Isotropic (...

High-performance bio-inspired composite T-joints (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 Elsevier Ltd This paper introduces a novel bio-inspired design strategy based on the optimised topology of bird bone's joint to improve the strength-to-weight ratio and damage tolerance of composite T-joints. Better structuring the constituent... Read More about High-performance bio-inspired composite T-joints.

Investigating polyethersulfone interleaved Glass/Carbon hybrid composite under impact and its comparison with GLARE (2019)
Journal Article

A tough polyethersulfone (PES) membrane was utilized as a novel reinforcement to improve impact performance of a carbon/glass hybrid composite. The hybrid composite was made of a glass fibre/epoxy block that was sandwiched between two carbon fibre/ep...
