Experimental–numerical study on minimizing impact induced damage in laminated composites under low-velocity impact (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017, © The Author(s) 2017. In this study, an experimentally validated numerical analysis was performed toward optimization of stacking sequence in multidirectional laminated composites subjected to low-velocity impact. For this purpose, an optimiz... Read More about Experimental–numerical study on minimizing impact induced damage in laminated composites under low-velocity impact.

Acoustic Emission-Based Methodology to Evaluate Delamination Crack Growth Under Quasi-static and Fatigue Loading Conditions (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017, The Author(s). The aim of this study was to investigate the applicability of acoustic emission (AE) technique to evaluate delamination crack in glass/epoxy composite laminates under quasi-static and fatigue loading. To this aim, double cantil... Read More about Acoustic Emission-Based Methodology to Evaluate Delamination Crack Growth Under Quasi-static and Fatigue Loading Conditions.

Pseudo-ductility and reduced notch sensitivity in multi-directional all-carbon/epoxy thin-ply hybrid composites (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 The Author(s) Un-notched and notched tensile response and damage accumulation of quasi-isotropic carbon/epoxy hybrid laminates made of ultra-high modulus and intermediate modulus carbon fibre/epoxy thin-ply prepregs were studied. It was confir... Read More about Pseudo-ductility and reduced notch sensitivity in multi-directional all-carbon/epoxy thin-ply hybrid composites.

Do high frequency acoustic emission events always represent fibre failure in CFRP laminates? (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 Elsevier Ltd When damage in carbon fibre reinforced composites (CFRP) is monitored by acoustic emission (AE), it is a common belief that high frequency AE events originate from fibre failure. This shows that this statement may not correspond... Read More about Do high frequency acoustic emission events always represent fibre failure in CFRP laminates?.

A generalisation of the Hill's quadratic yield function for planar plastic anisotropy to consider loading direction (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 The Authors In this work, a new generalised quadratic yield function for plane stress analysis that is able to describe the plastic anisotropy of metals and also the asymmetric behaviour in tension-compression typical of the Hexagonal Closed-P...
