Improving the structural integrity of foam-core sandwich composites using continuous carbon fiber stitching Open

Changze Sun, Hamda Albustani, Vaibhav A. Phadnis, Mohamed Nasr Saleh, W.J. Cantwell , et al. · 2023

This study aims to improve the structural integrity of foam-core sandwich structures by embedding carbon-fiber/epoxy stitched reinforcements with fiber-volume fraction (Vf) as high as 55%. Sandwich panels with 1.5 mm thick carbon fiber ski…

Study of the machining induced damage in UD-CFRP laminates with various fibre orientations: FE assessment Open

F. Cepero-Mejías, J.L. Curiel-Sosa, Kevin Kerrigan, Vaibhav A. Phadnis · 2020

Finite elements (FE) provide an excellent and low-cost approach in the assessment of composite machining induced damage. This article is focused on the evaluation of the damage underlying the machined surface through the development of a n…

Machining induced damage in orthogonal cutting of UD composites: FEA based assessment of Hashin and Puck criteria Open

F. Cepero-Mejías, Vaibhav A. Phadnis, J.L. Curiel-Sosa · 2019

FE models offer a promising virtual alternative to study machining responses of composites, thereby allowing an informed selection of favorable cutting parameters. Appropriate mathematical schemes are needed to predict damage initiation in…

Chip formation in machining of unidirectional carbon fibre reinforced polymer laminates: FEM based assessment Open

F. Cepero-Mejías, J.L. Curiel-Sosa, Kevin Kerrigan, Vaibhav A. Phadnis · 2019

Finite-element (FE) method offers a low cost virtual alternative to assist in optimisation of critical process parameters in machining of composites. This study is focussed on understanding the mechanics of chip formation in orthogonal cut…

2D and 3D Finite Element Models for the Edge Trimming of CFRP Open

Nicolas Duboust, C. Pinna, Hassan Ghadbeigi, Sabino Ayvar-Soberanis, Vaibhav A. Phadnis , et al. · 2017

2D and 3D finite element models were developed to simulate the machining of CFRP with different levels of tool wear. Models were validated by edge trimming experiments on a uni-directional laminate at different fibre orientations using a t…

Erratum to: 3D Finite Element Modelling of Cutting Forces in Drilling Fibre Metal Laminates and Experimental Hole Quality Analysis Open

3D Finite Element Modelling of Cutting Forces in Drilling Fibre Metal Laminates and Experimental Hole Quality Analysis Open

Khaled Giasin, Sabino Ayvar-Soberanis, Toby French, Vaibhav A. Phadnis · 2016

Machining Glass fibre aluminium reinforced epoxy (GLARE) is cumbersome due to distinctively different mechanical and thermal properties of its constituents, which makes it challenging to achieve damage-free holes with the acceptable surfac…

Ballistic damage in hybrid composite laminates Open

Vaibhav A. Phadnis, Kedar S. Pandya, N.K. Naik, Anish Roy, Vadim V. Silberschmidt · 2015

This work was delivered at the 11th International Conference on Damage Assessment of Structures (DAMAS 2015). It was published as Open Access. Content from this work may be used under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 licen…

Finite element analysis of hypervelocity impact behaviour of CFRP-Al/HC sandwich panel Open

Vaibhav A. Phadnis, Vadim V. Silberschmidt · 2015

The mechanical response of CFRP-Al/HC (carbon fibre-reinforced/epoxy composite face sheets with Al honeycomb core) sandwich panels to hyper-velocity impact (up to 1 km/s) is studied using a finite-element model developed in ABAQUS/Explicit…
