Project Outline: The differences in material properties in the different constituents of composite materials makes them particularly susceptible to residual stress. Overmoulded components are even more so by the nature of their construction, and the use of thermoplastic materials increases this further. This project will: Investigate the...

Project Outline: Automated Tape Laying (ATL) and Automated Fibre Placement (AFP) are forms of additive manufacturing: the process of joining materials to make parts from 3D model data, usually layer upon layer. AFP has been at the core of the NCC capabilities since the centre was opened in 2010. This capability is currently being expanded to include...

Project Outline: Defects in composite materials may be produced during manufacture or service and can have a detrimental effect on the strength of the composite or cause failure. It is not always clear where a defect has originated. The purpose of this project is to investigate the root cause of defects in composite materials and structures and...
