Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been increasingly applied in engineering
structures especially for achieving high demands on structural performance, but they are …

Composites manufacturing involves many sources of uncertainty associated with material
properties variation and boundary conditions variability. In this study, experimental and …

In this second international permeability benchmark, the in-plane permeability values of a
carbon fabric were studied by twelve research groups worldwide. One participant also …

In this international permeability benchmark exercise, in-plane permeability data for two
reinforcement fabrics, obtained using a total of 16 different experimental procedures, were …

Although good progress was made by two international benchmark exercises on in-plane
permeability, existing methods have not yet been standardized. This paper presents the …

A comprehensive review of experimental and analytical studies since 1990 on the variability
of permeability induced by fibrous media (reinforcement) distortions across the composite …

Meso-scale (unit cell of an impregnated textile reinforcement) finite element (FE) modelling
of textile composites is a powerful tool for homogenisation of mechanical properties, study of …

X-ray computed tomography (XCT) combined with computer simulations have proved to be
an extremely powerful and versatile tool for material characterization in recent years. The …

Measurements of the internal geometry of a carbon fiber non-crimp 3D orthogonal woven
composite are presented, including: waviness of the yarns, cross sections of the yarns …

A robust platform in the form of a hybrid experimental-numerical framework is proposed for
reinforcement characterization with minimal material consumption and labor costs. In this …
