Computation of permeability of textile reinforcements

open access: yes, 2005
Permeability of textiles is a key characteristic for composite manufacturing. Measurement of textile permeability is a time and resource consuming process, hence numerical prediction of the permeability is required. Using the law of Darcy, permeability can be derived from a simulation of the fluid flow, i.e.

Microscale Mapping of Fiber Strain and Damage in Composite Wrinkled Laminates Using Computed Tomography Assisted Wide‐Angle X‐Ray Scattering

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study combines full‐field tomography with diffraction mapping to quantify radial (ε002$\varepsilon _{002}$) and axial (ε100$\varepsilon _{100}$) lattice strain in wrinkled carbon‐fiber specimens for the first time. Radial microstrain gradients (−14.5 µεMPa$\varepsilon \mathrm{MPa}$−1) are found to signal damage‐prone zones ahead of failure, which ...
