Wood has always been used by man for his means of transport. It is only since the beginning
of the 20th century that it has fallen into disuse due to the industrial production of concrete …

The certification of aeronautical composite structures is based on a pragmatic approach,
which is intended to be safe and essentially experimental but with a strong test/calculation …

In the current work, the design freedom of 3D printed composite parts reinforced with
continuous fibres is explored. The placement of continuous fibres to reduce stress …

Composite panels are widely used as structural members due to their high strength-to-
weight ratio. In order to reduce further weight, cutouts or notches are introduced in these …

In the present work, the multiaxial 3D (M3D) woven composites and 3D layer-to-layer (3D
LTL) interlock woven composites were designed and manufactured. Both unnotched and …

The certification of aircraft structures specifies various loads, possibly combined, to be
considered to demonstrate its strength. In general, structural testing up to static failure is …

The demonstration of compliance of aeronautical structures with certification requirements is
generally based on the building block approach, considering tests from the coupon level up …

A meso-scale damage modelling framework for composite laminates is assessed against
multi-axial experimental data obtained from specimens subjected to combined …

To decrease development costs of aeronautical composite structures, industrials and
academic researchers are turning to “virtual testing” methods. To help achieve this objective …

Phenolic-based composite tubes are being used in industry due to their high fire resistant
and lower yields of heat and toxic fumes. These tubes can be better designed by changing …
