Sodja, J. (author), Martinez, M.J. (author), Simpson, John C. (author), De Breuker, R. (author)This article presents an experimental evaluation of a morphing leading edge demonstrator by investigating its morphed shape, the level of induced strains in the airfoil skin, the actuation force, and the morphing mechanism’s capability to lock and transfer the applied loads. In addition, a finite element model of the demonstrator is assembled...journal article 2019

Venturini, Nicolas (author), Martinez, M.J. (author), Troiani, Enrico (author), Barroso Romero, M. (author), Falcetelli, F. (author)In the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) field, Acoustic Emissions (AE) is the process by which acoustic signals generated during the formation of damage are captured by sensors, analyzed and used for localization within the structure. In plate like structures, these signals lead to the formation of Lamb Waves (LW), which are broadband in...conference paper 2019

Ribeiro, Fabricio N. (author), Martinez, M.J. (author), Rans, C.D. (author)The lack of a widely-accepted test standard for characterizing the mode II fatigue disbond growth behavior of adhesively bonded interfaces is a challenge to the research community in terms of producing consistent and repeatable results. Typically, researchers apply the End Notch Flexure specimen, which is already used for static delamination...journal article 2019

Sauvage, L.L.F. (author), Wei, W. (author), Martinez, M.J. (author)Pastel paintings are one of the most fragile types of objects of art. When handling loan requests, conservators lack scientific data to assess the risk for damage in transport, and thus for making decisions whether they can be transported. A research project was initiated in 2014 to investigate the effect of vibrations on the condition of pastel...journal article 2018

Martinez, M.J. (author), Pant, S (author), Yanishevsky, M (author), Backman, D (author)Structural health monitoring has focused on the use of computational models to capture the effect of crack-like discontinuities on the behaviour of acoustic-ultrasonic signals. However, few models have taken into account the effect of geometric complexity in combination with residual stresses generated during the fatigue crack growth (FCG)...journal article 2017

Martinez Bueno, P. (author), Martinez, M.J. (author), Rans, C.D. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)The primary objective of this research study was to evaluate the capabilities for measuring strain of a composite UAV wing with an embedded optical fiber connected to a Rayleigh backscattering distributed sensing system. This research paper summarizes the manufacturing procedure used during the instrumentation of the composite UAV wing. In...journal article 2016

de Mooij, C. (author), Martinez, M.J. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)Computing global strain distributions in complex aerospace and wind energy structures in quasi-real time is an important challenge for the aerospace and wind energy industry. Shape sensing is being considered as a potential means for obtaining global strain fields of complex structures. This is achieved through the use of inverse finite element...poster 2016

Zhao, T. (author), Palardy, G. (author), Villegas, I.F. (author), Rans, C.D. (author), Martinez, M.J. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)The in-plane and out-of-plane mechanical behaviour of both ultrasonically spot-welded and mechanically fastened joints was investigated by double-lap shear and pull-through tests, respectively. Spot-welded specimens showed comparable onset failure load and significantly higher joint stiffness compared to mechanical fasteners when carrying shear...journal article 2016

Pant, S (author), Laliberte, J (author), Martinez, M.J. (author), Rocha, B. (author)In this paper, a one-sided, in situ method based on the time of flight measurement of ultrasonic waves was described. The primary application of this technique was to non-destructively measure the stiffness properties of isotropic and transversely isotropic materials. The method consists of generating and receiving quasi-longitudinal and quasi...journal article 2016

(author)In this work, the hybrid interface between metal and thermosetting polymer matrix composite was studied via experimental and numerical investigations. Hybrid laminates, whose constituents are aluminum foil, carbon fabric and epoxy matrix, were manufactured using the vacuum assisted resin transfer molding process. Chromic anodization was used to...conference paper 2015
