Ochoa, P. (author), Groves, R.M. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)Ultrasonic Lamb wave techniques are described as one of the most encouraging developments for structural health monitoring of aerospace composite structures. The reliability of those techniques is highly dependent on the quality of signal processing algorithms capable of extracting useful information out of complex responses. When damage...conference paper 2015

De Mooij, C. (author), Martinez, M. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)Existing shape sensing methods use individual sensor types, determining either strain or displacement well, but not both. More accurate shape sensing could improve load estimation, necessary for accurate life assessment of the structure.conference paper 2015

Skandali, M. (author), Jansen, K.M.B. (author), Koussios, S. (author), Sinke, J. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)The purpose of this study is to simulate the two-dimensional, transient and continuous heat transfer during the thermoset Automated Tape Laying (ATL) process. The heat transfer analysis is coupled with a cure kinetics model of the thermoset prepreg tapes used for the process. Unlike most studies, the process is modelled in a Lagrangian framework...conference paper 2015

Koutras, N. (author), Fernandez Villegas, I. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)In this work, the effect of temperature exposure on the strength of resistance welded joints is analysed. Glass fibre polyphenylene sulphide (GF/PPS) laminates were joined using the resistance welding technique and a stainless steel metal mesh as the heating element. Single lap shear tests at temperatures between 20°C and 150°C were performed to...conference paper 2015

Yao, L. (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)This paper provides a study on mode I fatigue delamination growth in composite laminates using energy principles. Experimental data has been obtained from fatigue tests conducted on Double Cantilever Beam (DCB) specimens at various stress ratios. A concept of fatigue fracture toughness is proposed to interpret the stress ratio effect in crack...conference paper 2015

Miesen, N. (author), Sinke, J. (author), Groves, R.M. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)The novelty of the research is the detection of different types of flaws in the prepreg carbon fibre-reinforced fibres (CFRP) layup compared to in cured products. This paper presents the development of a new method for in situ detection of prepreg CFRP production flaws combining laser displacement sensors and analytical modelling. Experimental...journal article 2015

Amaral, L. (author), Yao, L. (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)This work proposes to treat quasi-static mode I delamination growth of CFRP as a low-cycle fatigue process. To this end, mode I quasi-static and fatigue delamination tests were performed. An average physical Strain Energy Release Rate (SERR), derived from an energy balance, is used to characterize the energy released in crack extension. The...conference paper 2015

Pascoe, J.A. (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)Current prediction methods for growth of disbonds under fatigue loading are generally based on a correlation with either the maximum strain energy release rate (SERR) or the SERR range. This paper highlights some issues with this approach. In particular, it is argued that the maximum SERR or the SERR range alone do not give sufficient...journal article 2014

Liu, P. (author), Groves, R.M. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)Optical coherence elastography (OCE) has been applied to the study of microscopic deformation in biological tissue under compressive stress for more than a decade. In this paper, OCE has been extended for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, to deformation measurement in a glass fiber composite in the field of nondestructive testing. A...journal article 2014

Pascoe, J.A. (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)The concept of relating fatigue disbond growth to the strain energy release rate (SERR) is critically examined. It is highlighted that the common practise of using only the maximum SERR or only the SERR range is insufficient to correctly characterize a load cycle. As crack growth requires energy, it is argued that growth should be related to the...journal article 2014

Pascoe, J.A. (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)An overview is given of the development of methods for the prediction of fatigue driven delamination growth over the past 40 years. Four categories of methods are identified: stress/strain-based models, fracture mechanics based models, cohesive-zone models, and models using the extended finite element method. It is highlighted that most models...journal article 2013
