Electroadhesive gripping system and method for gripping an object
Herbert Shea, Vito Cacucciolo, Krishna Manaswi Digumarti
An electroadhesive gripping system and a method for gripping and manipulating an object are disclosed. The invention provides a novel approach particularly useful to pick fabrics or otherwise flat and flexible objects including a method relying on electroa ...
2023Multi-scale characterization and modeling of notched strength and translaminar fracture in hybrid thin-ply composites based on different carbon fiber grades
Owing to their high specific stiffness and strength, Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composites (CFRP) are ideal candidates for the development of lightweight high-performance structures. Within this family, thin-ply composites allow for wider design freedom and p ...
EPFL2023Benchmark exercise on image-based permeability determination of engineering textiles: Microscale predictions
Véronique Michaud, Baris Çaglar, Guillaume Clément Broggi
Permeability measurements of engineering textiles exhibit large variability as no standardization method currently exists; numerical permeability prediction is thus an attractive alternative. It has all advantages of virtual material characterization, incl ...
2023Out-of-plane permeability measurement for reinforcement textiles: A benchmark exercise
Véronique Michaud, Damiano Salvatori, Baris Çaglar, Amaël Maximilien Cohades
The out-of-plane permeability of two glass fibre fabrics was measured by 26 institutions using silicone oil as a test fluid. Participants in this study were free to select the test procedure, specimen dimensions and data analysis method, provided that test ...
20213D spacers enhance flow kinetics in resin transfer molding with woven fabrics
Véronique Michaud, Damiano Salvatori, Baris Çaglar
Impregnation time in Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) is directly proportional to resin viscosity and inversely proportional to fabric permeability, limiting the use of high-viscosity resins with conventional reinforcements. In this study, we show how to reduc ...
