LVI has become a serious threat to the composite industry because it induces complex
failure mechanisms and internal damages which significantly reduce the structural …

Sandwich composite structures have been extensively used in the aviation industry thanks
to their low weight and superior mechanical properties. As they are generally employed as …

Z-pinned laminates and sandwich materials are an important class of composites with
current applications in aircraft and emerging uses in other light-weight engineered products …

Sandwich structures are widely used in engineering as lightweight and high-strength
materials. In recent years, there has been increasing attention toward new design ideas …

In the past few decades, the development of aircraft engines has targeted high bypass ratios
and lightweight construction. The use of lighter and larger fan blades can facilitate the …

This paper investigates the effect of the fabric architecture and the z-binding yarns on the
compression after multiple impacts behavior of composites. Four fiber architectures are …

In this paper, the impact performance of a novel resin-infused acrylic thermoplastic matrix-
based 3D glass fabric composite (3D-FRC) has been evaluated and compared with …

The escalating use of fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs) in aerospace, defense,
automotive, and renewable energy industries underscores the need for a comprehensive …

Damage tolerance of a unique resin-infused thermoplastic (Elium) 3D fibre-reinforced
composite (3D-FRC) is compared with the conventional resin-infused thermoset (Epoxy) 3D …

In this work, a hierarchical multiscale analysis method was used for 3D woven composite
leaf spring landing gear. The structural finite element models at micro, meso and macro …
