Clancy, GearĂ³id (author), Peeters, D.M.J. (author), O'Higgins, Ronan M. (author), Weaver, Paul M. (author)This study investigates a device for in-line continuous spreading of carbon fibre/thermoplastic pre-preg tape for potential application in the Laser-Assisted Automatic Tape Placement (LATP) laminate manufacturing process. The spreading device allows variable tape width to be achieved locally during lay-up. Integration of this device in the...journal article 2020

Bandaru, Aswani Kumar (author), Clancy, GearĂ³id (author), Peeters, D.M.J. (author), O'Higgins, Ronan M. (author), Weaver, Paul M. (author)A critically important consideration of stiffened structural panels is the interfacial properties between skin and stiffener. In the present study a novel implementation of laser-assisted tape placement (LATP) was used to produce a representative skin-stiffener of a wingbox from carbon fibre reinforced PEEK. First, a stiffener is manufactured...journal article 2019
