- This is the first detailed numerical modelling of compressive failure mechanisms in multi-directional composite laminates with wrinkle defects, backed up by comprehensive experimental validation. It was funded by Rolls-Royce and awarded the 2016 IMechE Kenneth Harris James Prize, for best paper on an aerospace subject. The work has been used in an Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) funded follow on programme to generate virtual materials allowables for use in design (ref. no. 113085). It also resulted in a research collaboration with Aarlborg University to deploy the modelling technique to wind turbine applications (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compstruct.2019.02.065).
