Investigation of transverse residual stresses in a thick pultruded composite using digital image correlation with hole drilling (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 Elsevier Ltd Process induced residual stresses are one of the main sources of defects such as (pre) mature matrix cracking during pultrusion of fiber reinforced polymer composite profiles. Recently, comprehensive process models have been devel...

The high strain rate tension behaviour of pseudo-ductile high performance thin ply composites (2019)
Journal Article

In this study the effect of strain rate in tension on two different types of thin-ply pseudo-ductile laminates is reported. These comprised Unidirectional (UD) and quasi-isotropic (QI) hybrids made from low strain thin-ply carbon/epoxy and high strai...

Damage characterization of nano-interleaved CFRP under static and fatigue loading (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 by the authors. The use of high strength-to-weight ratio-laminated fiber-reinforced composites is emerging in engineering sectors such as aerospace, marine and automotive to improve productivity. Nevertheless, delamination between the layers i... Read More about Damage characterization of nano-interleaved CFRP under static and fatigue loading.
