  3. A Semi-Discrete Model for Progressive Damage and Failure of Fiber Reinforced Laminates

    15 Nov 2021 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Johnathan Goodsell

    High-strength and high-stiffness carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composite laminates (CFRP) are being increasingly used for primary load bearing structures in many industries. The most common material system used is based on thermoset resins (matrix material), which come in the form of convenient...

  4. Adaptive Multi-Scale & Multi-Fidelity Progressive Failure Analysis of Composites

    14 Nov 2022 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Johnathan Goodsell

    Although high-fidelity modeling of progressive damage has advanced our understanding of failure mechanisms in fibre-reinforced composites, such techniques are currently still too computationally intensive for direct application to composite structures. The multi-scale nature of damage in...

  7. Automating the Lay-up of Geometrically Complex Composite Structures Made from Preimpregnated Reinforcements: a Route to a Roadmap

    04 Nov 2020 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Johnathan Goodsell

    A significant amount of research and industrial effort has been expended on the development of equipment such as automated fibre placement machines to lay-up prepregged reinforcements into structures of relatively simple geometry such as wing skins and spars, and fuselage structures. These...

  8. Bottom-up Composites Materials Design for Multifunctionality

    02 Apr 2024 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Johnathan Goodsell

    There are ample of evidence of materials hybridization at scale, even in nature, yields optimal respond to specific functions. In structural materials, hierarchical materials hybridization accounting for defects or porosity would offer optimal performance at reduced materials mass. Similar...

  9. Capillary Effects in Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite Processing: A Zoom on the Flow Front

    06 Apr 2022 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Johnathan Goodsell

    Capillarity plays a major role in many natural and engineered systems, from nutrient delivery in plants, management of humidity in soils, to heat pipes and porous systems for spill recovery. In composite manufacturing, particularly in Liquid Composite Molding processes, capillary effects take...
