Nedelcu, Alex (author), Mendes Florindo, A.M. (author), Han, S.H. (author), Dekker, Jaap (author), de Vlieger, M.J. (author), Castro, Saullo G.P. (author), Peeters, D.M.J. (author)Double-curved composite structures that are manufactured via automated fiber placement, such as pressure vessels, can take advantage of tow steering to reduce weight. This design freedom comes with the cost of adding internal normal stresses to the tow, possibly leading to wrinkles or pull up. The present work investigates tow pull up both...journal article 2024

Wildenborg, Sander (author)In this work, it is demonstrated that kirigami deformation behaviour can be controlled by tailoring the anisotropic material that is used to create the kirigami structure. The ultimate goal is to find a relationship between the material pattern and the deformation behaviour of the kirigami structure. An anisotropic thermoplastic polyurethane...master thesis 2023

Çelik, O. (author), Bussink, T. (author), Peeters, D.M.J. (author), Teuwen, Julie J.E. (author), Dransfeld, C.A. (author)The effects of laser-induced deconsolidation on the compaction process of CF/PEEK tapes were investigated. First, tapes with different degrees of deconsolidation were manufactured using a laser heater. This procedure resulted in samples with different waviness, thickness, void content and surface roughness values. Then, as-received and laser...journal article 2021

Peeters, D.M.J. (author), Deane, Michael (author), O'Higgins, Ronan (author), Weaver, Paul M. (author)Mechanical properties of composite laminates can be tuned by either tailoring ply orientations or by using ply drops to change thickness profiles. The latter cause resin-rich pockets to form in thermoset composites that are autoclave cured after lay-down. This paper focuses on the morphology of ply drop regions with carbon fibre thermoplastic...journal article 2020
