de Zeeuw, C.M. (author), Peeters, D.M.J. (author), Bergsma, O.K. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)For pick-and-place processes to become widely implemented in industry a consistent and acceptable product quality needs to be achieved. One important quality criterion is the fiber angle deviations in the reinforcement. Handling a reinforcement will subject it to forces due to e.g. gravity and accelerations. These forces can result in in-plane...conference paper 2022

Lavalette, N. (author), Bergsma, O.K. (author), Zarouchas, D. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)In the context of lightweight structure design for the transportation and robotics industries, new types of composite structures are being developed, in the form of trusses made of fiber-reinforced polymer composite members of small diameter. The main objective of this work is to study adhesive joints, bonding pultruded composite tubes inside...conference paper 2018

Çelik, O. (author), Shroff, S. (author), Teuwen, Julie J.E. (author), Bergsma, O.K. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)Laser assisted automated tape or fiber placement (LATP/LAFP) with in-situ consolidation is a promising technique for manufacturing large structures, eliminating the limitations of autoclave curing. Currently, 2-D models are mostly preferred for the thermal analysis of the process. A 3-D, transient thermal finite element model is developed to...conference paper 2018
