  • Stochastic multi-objective optimisation of the cure process of thick laminates 
    Tifkitsis, Konstantinos; Mesogitis, Tassos S.; Struzziero, Giacomo; Skordos, Alexandros A. (Elsevier, 2018-06-11)
    A stochastic multi-objective cure optimisation methodology is developed in this work and applied to the case of thick epoxy/carbon fibre laminates. The methodology takes into account the uncertainty in process parameters ...
  • Stochastic simulation of the cure of advanced composites 
    Mesogitis, Tassos (Cranfield University, 2015-02)
    This study focuses on the development of a stochastic simulation methodology to study the effects of cure kinetics uncertainty, in plane fibre misalignment and boundary conditions uncertainty on the cure process of ...
  • Stochastic simulation of the influence of cure kinetics uncertainty on composites cure 
    Mesogitis, Tassos; Skordos, Alexandros A.; Long, A. C. (Elsevier, 2015-02-13)
    A stochastic cure simulation methodology is developed and implemented to investigate the influence of cure kinetics uncertainty due to different initial resin state on the process of cure. The simulation addresses heat ...
  • Stochastic simulation of the influence of fibre path variability on the formation of residual stress and shape distortion 
    Mesogitis, Tassos; Skordos, Alexandros A.; Long, A. C. (Wiley, 2015-11-20)
    A stochastic cure simulation approach is developed and implemented to investigate the influence of fibre misalignment on cure. Image analysis is used to characterize fiber misalignment in a carbon non-crimp fabric. It is ...
  • Stochastic simulation of woven composites forming 
    Skordos, Alexandros A.; Sutcliffe, Michael P. F. (Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam., 2008-01-01)
    A stochastic forming simulation procedure is developed and implemented to investigate the effect of geometric variability in pre-impregnated woven textiles on manufacturing. Image analysis is used to characterise variability ...
  • Thermomechanical analysis of a toughened thermosetting system. 
    Zarrelli, M.; Skordos, Alexandros A.; Partridge, Ivana K. (Springer Science Business Media, 2008-03-01)
    The experimental results of viscoelastic mechanical tests, at five different levels of conversion, are reported for a thermoset composite matrix system toughened with an appropriate percentage of a thermoplastic polymer. ...
  • Toward a constitutive model for cure dependent modulus of a high temperature epoxy during the cure 
    Zarrelli, M.; Skordos, Alexandros A.; Partridge, Ivana K. (Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam., 2010-12-31)
    A constitutive model, based on Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts (KWW) equations, was developed to simulate the evolution of the dynamic relaxation modulus during the cure of a "high temperature' epoxy. The basic assumption of ...
  • Tufting of complex composite structures 
    Lombetti, D. M. (Cranfield University, 2015-12)
    This study focuses on the effect of tufting on the mechanical and electrical properties of carbon composites using a variety of tuft materials, such as aramid, steel and copper. Several configurations were investigated ...
  • Uncertainty in the manufacturing of fibrous thermosetting composites: A review 
    Mesogitis, Tassos; Skordos, Alexandros A.; Long, A. C. (Elsevier, 2014-02)
    Composites manufacturing involves many sources of uncertainty associated with material properties variation and boundary conditions variability. In this study, experimental and numerical results concerning the statistical ...
  • Z-direction heat transfer in composites hybridised with large diameter metallic pins 
    Neale, Geoffrey; Fu, Y.; Skordos, Alexandros A. (ICCM, 2023-08-04)
    Continuous fibre reinforced polymer composites have a well-established track record of excellent structural performance but generally lack non-structural functionalities inherent in legacy materials like metals. As the ...
