Our new toy is officially on the way to Mexico. Big enough? Not really, it's designed to be double in size. No mould is too big, no job is too small. 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 DFS Composites Limited #Mexico #Chihuahua #Cuidad_Juarez #Composites #LargeTooling

Very interesting and detailed article by Chris as part of his PHD project. For more information, feel free to reach out to him directly.
Composite Materials Specialist | Damage Tolerance & Structural Simulation | Ultra-lightweight Structures
Happy to announce the latest research article from my PhD project has now been published in Engineering Fracture Mechanics. Delamination is a critical failure mode, especially in thin composites (<2 mm) which often show unfavourable damage characteristics under impact. Our research explores how hybridising standard unidirectional (UD) plies with various thin-ply architectures (spread tow UD, spread tow fabric, and plain weave) at the crack plane can enhance delamination resistance. Key Findings: Hybridisation significantly boosts Mode I fracture toughness. Interleaving with a spread tow (ST) UD ply at a 0° orientation yielded the best result, increasing the initiation fracture toughness by 189% compared to the non-hybrid control laminate. Introducing a relative angle change (e.g., 45°) at the hybrid interface generally improved crack propagation toughness, largely due to increased fibre bridging due to crack migration. Plain weave (PW) interleaves suppressed large-scale fibre bridging, leading to highly repeatable and predictable fracture behaviour, which is valuable for applications requiring consistent delamination resistance. These findings are important for designing more robust and damage-tolerant thin composite structures. As we push the boundaries in engineering, thin laminates are becoming more relevant, therefore understanding and controlling fracture is vital. The Mars Ingenuity helicopter, a thin CFRP structure, ultimately failed due to impact damage, highlighting the real-world relevance of this work. Thin laminates are also commonly used in eVTOL and motorsports applications. By strategically hybridising ply architectures, designers can enhance delamination resistance and create more reliable, high-performance thin laminates. I am pleased to contribute to the understanding of thin laminate design and look forward to the continued activity in this area.
