- This paper presented the world's first capability to model wrinkle defect formation in complex parts made from multi-directional composite laminates. The model builds from first principles and is demonstrated on a range of cases, before being deployed on an industrially relevant validation case, all with comprehensive experimental comparison. It directly led to a £1.1M follow on EPSRC grant (EP/P027350/1), as well as uptake by industry via a Rolls-Royce sponsored EngD, and EPSRC Impact Acceleration Awards granted to transfer the technology to an SME (LMAT) and BAE Systems. The models have also been deployed at the National Composites Centre.
