Fiber Orientation Prediction for Discontinuous Fiber Composites: Fundamentals and Future Trends
08 Feb 2023 | Contributor(s): Johnathan Goodsell
When composite materials with discontinuous fibers are processed into their final shape, any flow alters the fiber orientation pattern and affects the properties of the final composite. It is now standard practice to predict fiber orientation patterns and the resulting mechanical properties in...

Fiber-Optic-Based In-Process Monitoring of CFRP Structures for Material Quality Assurance
27 Jan 2022 | Contributor(s): Johnathan Goodsell
Although carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites have been used extensively in many aerospace structures such as Boeing 787 and Airbus 350, low-cost and high-rate production CFRP are highly demanded for next-generation single-aisle commercial aircraft. Competition has been increasing...

Fibrous Shell Approach and 3D Second Gradient Modeling for Textile Composite Draping
10 Dec 2021 | Contributor(s): Johnathan Goodsell
Composite manufacturing processes are often complex and process simulation is a way to avoid costly trial-anderror development. Simulations of composites textile reinforcements draping use shell finite elements for which the bending behavior is very particular. The fibrous composition of the...

Imparting Robustness to Out-of-Autoclave Prepregs
09 Mar 2023 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Johnathan Goodsell
Autoclaves have long been used to ensure robustness in the production of composite parts. However, they present a production bottleneck, as well as high capital and recurring costs. Out-of-autoclave prepregs were introduced to allow oven curing and thereby address some of these issues. These OoA...

Master Laminates to Simplify Design, Manufacturing, and Testing of Composites
12 Dec 2022 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Johnathan Goodsell
Composite materials and structures have traditionally been viewed as more complicated than metals. With master stiffness and failure envelopes composites are as simple as metals. Stiffness of laminates can be split into two part: one for trace that represents the total stiffness capacity; one for...
