Kinematic and mechanical response of dry woven fabrics in through-thickness compression: Virtual fiber modeling with mesh overlay technique and experimental validation

Véronique Michaud, Baris Çaglar, Lode Geeraard Daelemans

The through-thickness compressive behavior of fabric reinforcements is crucial in liquid composite molding manufacturing processes. Predictive simulations of the compressive response are thus necessary to enable a virtual processing workflow. These are com ...

Size limitations on achieving tough and healable fibre reinforced composites through the use of thermoplastic nanofibres

Véronique Michaud, Amaël Maximilien Cohades, Lode Geeraard Daelemans

Phase-separated blends of epoxy and poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) provide crack repair in composites after a thermal treatment at 150 °C, but decrease the material’s fracture toughness. This article investigates the combination of healing with interlaminar fr ...

Electrospun nanofibrous interleaves for improved low velocity impact resistance of glass fibre reinforced composite laminates

Véronique Michaud, Amaël Maximilien Cohades, Lode Geeraard Daelemans

This study analyses the damage tolerance of nanofibre interleaved composites when subjected to low velocity impact. Cross-ply glass/epoxy composite laminates are produced. Drop-weight impact and residual compressive strength measurements are performed on t ...
