This paper formulates the concurrent optimization of structural topology and anisotropic
materials for laminated composite structures by simultaneously optimizing laminate topology …

Shear behaviour of a glass fibre/polypropylene composite is characterized over a wide
range of strain rates and forming temperatures using the bias extension test. A temperature …

In the present paper, the influence of tailored load introduction inserts applied to a bolt-
loaded open-hole injection plate with different short glass fibre content is investigated. The …

Thermoplastic tapes are commonly processed by the rapid and efficient stamp forming
process. During this forming process, the individual unidirectional tapes of the composite …

Continuous fiber tow reinforcements in hybrid-molded composite structures are an emerging
means of replacing structural, high production volume metal components, but further study of …

The behaviour of four different woven-reinforced thermoplastic-matrix laminates was
analysed using dynamic mechanical thermal analysis. The investigation was focussed on a …

In the process of composite material molding, the role of robots has become increasingly
significant. However, the laying process of composite materials is heavily influenced by …

Fiber-reinforced laminated composites are widely utilized in the transportation industries
due to their superior specific stiffness and strength over conventional metals. The most …

The automated placement of continuous fiber-reinforced polymer prepregs (pre-
impregnated) is a generative manufacturing technology for composites. Particularly laser …

Fiber patch placement (FPP) is a manufacturing technique for discrete variable stiffness
composites. In the FPP approach, a structural component is assembled from a multitude of …
