Numerical shape, thickness and stacking sequence optimisation and experimental study of hybrid composite plates under in-plane shear loading (2023)
Journal Article

Shape, thickness and stacking sequence optimisation of a damage tolerant hybrid (GFRP-CFRP) composite laminate is performed using the commercial Optistruct solver. The results of the optimisation study are compared to both a benchmark non-damage tole...

An experimental investigation of the impact response and post-impact shear buckling behaviour of hybrid composite laminates (2023)
Journal Article

This paper investigates the effect of transverse impact loading on the in-plane shear behaviour of two laminate configurations. The extensive experimental studies consider a pure carbon laminate (type 1) and a novel X-shaped carbon/glass laminate (ty...
