Experimental and numerical study of bending-induced buckling of stiffened composite plate assembliesTelford, R. (author), Peeters, D.M.J. (author), Rouhi, M. (author), Weaver, P. M. (author)Despite their importance in benchmarking numerical simulations, buckling tests still feature compromises between component-level and high-fidelity large-scale tests. For example, compression-induced buckling tests cannot capture the through-thickness or span-wise stress gradients in wing skins. Consequently, the results obtained often require...journal article 2022

Static test of a variable stiffness thermoplastic composite wingbox under shear, bending and torsionZucco, G. (author), Oliveri, V. (author), Rouhi, M. (author), Telford, R. (author), Clancy, G. (author), McHale, C. (author), O'Higgins, R. (author), Young, T. M. (author), Weaver, P. M. (author), Peeters, D.M.J. (author)Automated manufacturing of thermoplastic composites has found increased interest in aerospace applications over the past three decades because of its great potential in low-cost, high rate, repeatable production of high performance composite structures. Experimental validation is a key element in the development of structures made using this...journal article 2020
