- This paper proposes and validates a new modelling method for delamination suppression by through-thickness reinforcements. For the first time a method that is computationally efficient enough has been created for use in large scale composite structures. The work was funded by InnovateUK and Rolls-Royce via the CTI Fan programme (113085). The software has been transferred to Rolls-Royce where it is being incorporated into their impact analysis methods (James.Finlayson@Rolls-Royce.com). The work led to two new InnovateUK projects FANTASTICAL (113190) and FANDANGO (113232) on the development of next generation of aircraft engines, where the software tools are being used and further developed.
