Structural fuses in composite structures: Engineered crack paths in carbon fibre-reinforced polymers Open
We designed engineered carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) solutions for realising structural fuses in real CFRP composite components. We developed various concepts of engineered crack paths containing micro-cut patterns (MCPs) aiming t…

Novel zone-based hybrid laminate structures for high-velocity impact (HVI) in carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites Open
We propose novel zone-based hybrid laminate concepts for improving the high-velocity impact (HVI) response of baseline carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites while maintaining similar areal weights and retaining substantial in-p…

A novel profiling concept leading to a significant increase in the mechanical performance of metal to composite adhesive joints Open
Traditional adhesive joints with straight edged adherends suffer from a significant stress concentration in the composite coincident with the edge of the metal adherend, which can lead to accelerated translaminar failure of the substrate. …

Lightweight, Fiber-Damage-Resistant, and Healable Bio-Inspired Glass-Fiber Reinforced Polymer Laminate Open
Glass-Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) laminates are widely used in the automotive and marine industries such as auto bodies and boat hulls. Decreasing the weight and improving the reparability of GFRP parts will cut down material usage, fu…

Bio-inspired designs for enhanced damage resistance of composite structures: Bouligand, Herringbone and multi-tailored bone-inspired strategies Open
This thesis presents three novel bio-inspired microstructural concepts, for point-by-point tailorable composite solutions, that exploit the ability to diffuse damage in a sub-critical state; these aim at enhancing the damage resistance and…
