A Simplified Laminar Flow Model for the Pultrusion of Glass Fiber/Polyethylene Terephthalate Commingled Yarns

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A simplified thermoplastic pultrusion model is developed to predict thermal fields in glass fiber/polyethylene terephthalate (GF/PET) composites with reduced computational cost. By combining effective material homogenization, validation against literature data, and Gaussian‐process‐based optimization, the study reveals how heating limits, pulling speed,

Momentum- and Energy-Based Analyses of the Aerodynamic Effects of Boundary Layer Ingestion and Propulsion–Airframe Integration on a Blended Wing Body–Turbofan Configuration

open access: yesAerospace
Boundary layer ingestion (BLI) propulsion offers notable benefits for blended wing body (BWB) aircraft, and understanding the interrelated effects of BLI and propulsion–airframe integration (PAI) is critical for early-stage design decisions.
