Non-destructive inspection using ultrasound in materials such as carbon-fibre reinforced
polymers (CFRP) is challenging as the ultrasonic wave will scatter from each ply in the …

This work investigates the effect of preform compaction on the mechanical performance and
flow-induced fibre alignment of carbon fibre reinforced Sheet Moulding Compounds (SMCs) …

Carbon nanotubes orientation has a significant impact on the performance of carbon
nanotubes/epoxy resin (CNTs/EP) composite materials. The ultrasonic velocity is sensitive to …

The development of ceramic matrix composites, with their increasing use in high
temperature and corrosive environment applications, is still restricted to 'trial and …

Carbon fiber-reinforced Plastics (CFRP) are a key factor for achieving a carbon-neutral
mobility sector due to their lightweight properties. Despite their near-net-shape …

The automotive industry is under increasing pressure to produce light weight and
fuelefficient vehicles to meet stringent global emission targets. Discontinuous carbon fibre …

Bonded scarf repairs are attractive for large composite aerostructures due to their high
performance and low weight compared with mechanical fastening methods. However, the …

In this study, flow-induced fibre reorientation in carbon fibre SMCs after compression
moulding has been investigated experimentally using an image-based fibre orientation …

The dry fibre reinforcement format of Non-Crimp Fabric (NCF) is used preferentially over
woven fabrics when very high structural stiffness is required for liquid moulded composites …
