A multiscale framework for predicting the mechanical properties of unidirectional non-crimp fabric composites with manufacturing induced defects

Khizar Rouf et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of manufacturing induced misalignment and crimp on heavy-tow non-crimp fabric composites, predicting properties using multiscale computational approaches. The real model showed excellent agreement with experimental data in predicting lamina stiffness, demonstrating the feasibility of accurately predicting mechanical properties by incorporating micro-structural defects.

Effect of Strain Rate on the Transverse Tension and Compression Behavior of a Unidirectional Non-Crimp Fabric Carbon Fiber/Snap-Cure Epoxy Composite

Khizar Rouf et al.

Summary: The study characterized the strain rate-dependent behavior of a UD-NCF carbon fiber/snap-cure epoxy composite loaded in the transverse direction under different strain rates, revealing higher tensile and compressive strength at high strain rates. Distinct localized fracture surfaces were observed for specimens tested at different strain rates, while the initial fracture plane orientation in transverse compression tests was found to increase with increasing strain rate.
