Topology morphing lattice structures (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Sundararaman, V., O'Donnell, M., Chenchiah, I. V., & Weaver, P. (2021). Topology morphing lattice structures. In Proceedings Series: ASME 2021 Conference on Smart Materials, Adaptive Structures and Intelligent Systems. https://doi.org/10.1115/SMASIS2021-67531

Planar cellular lattice structures subject to axial compression may undergo elastic bending or buckling of the unit cells. If sufficient compression is applied, the columns of adjacent cells make contact. This changes the topology of the lattice by e... Read More about Topology morphing lattice structures.

Comparing the effect of geometry and stiffness on the effective load paths in non-symmetric laminates (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Minera, S., Patni, M., Weaver, P., Pirrera, A., & O'Donnell, M. P. (2019). Comparing the effect of geometry and stiffness on the effective load paths in non-symmetric laminates. . https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2019-1766

© 2019, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA. All rights reserved. In aerospace composite material design, it is common to encounter load bearing components that vary in thickness across their length. In plate design, ply drop...

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...
