Rapid prediction of fibre-dominant tensile failure in randomly oriented strands (2022)
Journal Article
Jesus, A., & Xu, X. (2023). Rapid prediction of fibre-dominant tensile failure in randomly oriented strands. Journal of Reinforced Plastics and Composites, 42(5-6), 205-212. https://doi.org/10.1177/07316844221107927

A stochastic morphological modelling framework has been established to predict the tensile behaviour of Randomly Oriented Strands made of ultra-thin Carbon Fibre Reinforced Thermoplastic prepreg tapes. The tape properties from their distributions are... Read More about Rapid prediction of fibre-dominant tensile failure in randomly oriented strands.

The effect of transverse compressive stresses on tensile failure of carbon fibre/epoxy composites (2022)
Journal Article
Wisnom, M. R., Rev, T., Wisnom, M., Xu, X., & Czél, G. (2022). The effect of transverse compressive stresses on tensile failure of carbon fibre/epoxy composites. Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 156, Article 106894. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compositesa.2022.106894

A novel test configuration has been developed to induce combined stress-states of in-plane longitudinal tension and transverse compression in thin-ply, unidirectional (UD) composite layers. Three different multi-directional laminates have been design... Read More about The effect of transverse compressive stresses on tensile failure of carbon fibre/epoxy composites.
