Lattice structures have shown excellent mechanical properties, such as high energy
absorption capacity. In this work, the extended body centered cubic lattice was proposed by …

This study characterises the compressive behaviours of 3D-printed carbon fibre (CF)
reinforced polyamide (PA) composite metamaterials with negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) or …

This study investigates a novel CFRP tube by reinforced with composite sandwich panels
(CSPs) for enhanced energy absorption. First, CSP-reinforced CFRP tubes with the ply …

Nomex honeycomb, as the core part of sandwich structure, has been widely used in the
aviation and aerospace industries. Ultrasonic cutting, as a technology that can reduce …

Localised progressive failure of composite sandwich panels under in-plane loads is
massively seen in engineering practice, eg fasteners, etc. This study develops a finite …

This study develops a new multi-material topology optimisation framework for design of
periodic micro-composites with optimal functional performance and reduced stress …

This study aims to explore failure mechanism and failure criteria of carbon fiber reinforced
polypropylene (CFRPP) by presenting a novel notch-shaped design of specimens with two …

Benefiting from advanced features like high stiffness-to-weight ratios, sandwich structures
are widely used in aerospace for primary and secondary structures. As tasks grow more …

In this study we develop and investigate a novel lightweight 3D composite lattice structure of
high thermal-dimension stability, ie, with zero coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). First, a …

In this study, a novel type of sandwich panel with an extensive application in light vehicles is
investigated.. Despite existing studies and research about the application of sandwich …
