Design and evaluation of a novel variable-length stepped scarf repair technique using a cohesive damage model (2024)
Journal Article

The advantages of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers (CFRPs) are well established, but repairing CFRP components remains difficult and costly, posing challenges for industries like aerospace. This paper explores the design, modelling, inspection, and t... Read More about Design and evaluation of a novel variable-length stepped scarf repair technique using a cohesive damage model.

A review on the modelling of aligned discontinuous fibre composites (2024)
Journal Article

Aligned discontinuous fibre-reinforced composites are becoming more popular because they have the potential to offer stiffness and strength comparable to their continuous counterparts along with better manufacturability. However, the modelling of hig... Read More about A review on the modelling of aligned discontinuous fibre composites.

An experimental investigation of tensile residual strength of repaired composite laminates after low velocity impact (2024)
Journal Article

Low Velocity Impact (LVI) of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) components are common during the manufacture and in-service life of aerostructures. However, the resulting effect on structural mechanical properties has not been extensively studied...
