Singh, Diwakar (author), Sharma, S. (author), Kumar, Rajeev (author), Chauhan, Vishal S. (author), Vaish, Rahul (author)Although conventional actuators like piezoelectric and electrostrictive are efficient, but they required hard wiring, which contaminates the control signal and adds to the weight of the structure. The current study presents a wireless control strategy using photostrictive actuators. Owing to the fortunate combination of photovoltaic effect...journal article 2023

Yue, N. (author), Galanopoulos, Georgios (author), Loutas, Theodoros (author), Zarouchas, D. (author)During the service of composite airframes, damage initiates and accumulates due to the manufacturing imperfections, impact damage and cyclic loadings, leading to the degradation in its load-bearing capacity. The nature of the degradation process is complicated due to the multi-mode damage propagation and complexity in the structural details...conference paper 2023

Verma, Amrit Shankar (author), Vedvik, Nils Petter (author), Gao, Zhen (author), Castro, Saullo G.P. (author), Teuwen, Julie J.E. (author)The leading edges of wind turbine blades are adhesively bonded composite sections that are susceptible to impact loads during offshore installation. The impact loads can cause localized damages at the leading edges that necessitate damage tolerance assessment. However, owing to the complex material combinations together with varying bondline...journal article 2021

Dhanisetty, V.S.V. (author)There is a growth in the use of composites for the new generation of wide-body aircraft such as the Boeing 787 and Airbus A350. This shift from using aluminium as the primary material is motivated by the benefits of using composites in design, manufacturing and operations. Composites offer the aircraft manufacturer the ability to create more...doctoral thesis 2019
