- Additional information
- This paper was the first to reveal how processing conditions can reduce damage tolerance in the class of composite materials that make up over 50% of the structural weight on widebody composite aircraft. This work was funded by the EPSRC Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in Composites (EP/I033513/1) Defects Generation project in collaboration with BAE Systems, GKN Aerospace, Hexcel, Rolls-Royce, and the University of British Columbia. A follow-on PhD studentship has been funded by Hexcel, who supply all primary composite materials for the Airbus A350 widebody, with the aim to develop new fundamental concepts for next generation composite materials.
