High-performance bio-inspired composite T-joints (2019)
Journal Article
Akrami, R., Fotouhi, S., Fotouhi, M., Bodaghi, M., Clamp, J., & Bolouri, A. (2019). High-performance bio-inspired composite T-joints. Composites Science and Technology, 184, Article 107840. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compscitech.2019.107840

© 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
Fotouhi, S., Clamp, J., Bolouri, A., Pozegic, T. R., & Fotouhi, M. (2019). Investigating polyethersulfone interleaved Glass/Carbon hybrid composite under impact and its comparison with GLARE. Composite Structures, 226, 111268. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compstruct.2019.111268

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...
