Experimental Investigation of the Effectiveness of Various Stitching Methods on Arresting Mode-II Interlaminar Damage Propagation in Stitched Resin-Infused Composites
This work is focused on investigating the impact of various out-of-plane stitching methods on enhancing mode-II interlaminar fracture toughness (or energy).
Presentation from the Mississippi Advanced Composites Training Center on resin infusion best practices, including lessons from the FAA stitched and unstitched resin infusion wing box project.
Inclusion of Manufacturability Considerations on Design Optimization of a Composite Rotor Blade
The optimization of rotor blade aerodynamic and structural design is pivotal for enhancing overall rotorcraft performance in terms of, e.g., reduced power requirements and energy consumption, and increased range and cargo capacity.
