Achieving robust acoustic emission-based damage characterization of scaled laminated composites under indentation (2021)
Journal Article

This paper presents a novel investigation on the robustness of Acoustic Emission (AE) technique on the characterization of indentation-induced Damage Mechanisms (DMs) in scaled laminated composites. AE is used to monitor a comprehensive series of sca... Read More about Achieving robust acoustic emission-based damage characterization of scaled laminated composites under indentation.

Effect of the stacking sequence on the impact response of carbon-glass/epoxy hybrid composites (2020)
Journal Article

This paper investigates low-velocity impact response of Quasi Isotropic (QI) hybrid carbon/glass fiber reinforced polymer composites with alternate stacking sequences. Cross-ply woven carbon and glass fibers were used as reinforcing materials to fabr... Read More about Effect of the stacking sequence on the impact response of carbon-glass/epoxy hybrid composites.

Finite element modelling of composite materials under impact loading, challenges and potential ways forward
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Despite the high performance of composite materials, they have an Achilles' heel in their susceptibility to impact damage, causing barely visible impact damage (BVID) and catastrophic failure at low loads. BVID significantly affects the performance a... Read More about Finite element modelling of composite materials under impact loading, challenges and potential ways forward.

Detection of barely visible impact damage using a smart hybrid composite surface layer
Presentation / Conference Contribution

An important and yet unsolved limitation of existing composite laminates is their susceptibility to impact damage. The ability to visually detect damage from impact events is a common concern for carbon/epoxy composite laminates, particularly because...
