Advanced computational modelling of composite materials
Cheng, ZQ; Liu, H; Tan, W (Elsevier, 2024-05-06)This review paper presents an overview of computational methods for modelling the failure of composite materials, with a focus on fracture modelling. The paper begins by discussing the principles and concepts of continuum ... -
Catalyst-Mediated Enhancement of Carbon Nanotube Textiles by Laser Irradiation: Nanoparticle Sweating and Bundle Alignment
Gspann, TS; Kaniyoor, A; Tan, W; Kloza, PA; Bulmer, JS; Mizen, J; Divitini, G; Terrones, J; Tune, D; Cook, JD (MDPI AG, 2021-03)The photonic post-processing of suspended carbon nanotube (CNT) ribbons made by floating catalyst chemical vapor deposition (FC-CVD) results in selective sorting of the carbon nanotubes present. Defective, thermally ... -
Characterisation of Polyurethane-urea as Leading-Edge Erosion Resistant Materials of Wind Turbine Blades
Restasari, A; Naderizadeh, S; Kaur, A; Akutagawa, K; Busfield, J; Tan, W (IOP Publishing, 2024)Surrounded by oceans, building offshore wind turbines is a great strategy for archipelago countries, like Indonesia, to harvest renewable energy from wind. However, because of high rainfall rate, water droplet erosion on ... -
