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...

Eliminating micro-porous layer from gas diffusion electrode for use in high temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 Elsevier B.V. In this work, we report a simple strategy to improve the performance of high temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (HT-PEMFC) by eliminating the micro-porous layer (MPL) from its gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs). Due... Read More about Eliminating micro-porous layer from gas diffusion electrode for use in high temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell.

Effect of PVDF nanofibers on the fracture behavior of composite laminates for high-speed woodworking machines (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 Institution of Mechanical Engineers. The use of light composites when designing fast moving parts for machine tools is emerging as a very efficient solution for improving productivity. Nevertheless, several aspects of these materials have to b... Read More about Effect of PVDF nanofibers on the fracture behavior of composite laminates for high-speed woodworking machines.

Analysis of the damage mechanisms in mixed-mode delamination of laminated composites using acoustic emission data clustering (2015)
Journal Article

© The Author(s) 2015. In this study, acoustic emission (AE) technique is used to investigate different time-to-failure mechanisms of delamination in glass/epoxy composite laminates. Woven and unidirectional layups were subjected to the double cantile...

Prediction of delamination growth in laminated composites using acoustic emission and Cohesive Zone Modeling techniques (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 Elsevier Ltd. Mode I delamination is the most common failure mode in laminated composite materials. Determination of the crack growth has a vital role in the damage tolerance analyses of the structures which suffer from this type of damage. Th...

Investigation of the damage mechanisms for mode I delamination growth in foam core sandwich composites using acoustic emission (2015)
Journal Article

© The Author(s) 2015 In this article, acoustic emission monitoring was used to identify different types of damage mechanisms which occur during delamination of sandwich structures. Features of the obtained acoustic emission signals and wavelet-based...

Prediction of delamination growth in carbon/epoxy composites using a novel acoustic emission-based approach (2015)
Journal Article

© The Author(s) 2015 Reprints and permissions: sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav. Delamination is the most common failure mode in laminated composites and it leads to loss of structural strength and stiffness. In this paper, acoustic emission mon...
