Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical characterisation of carbon fibre–PEEK manufactured by laser-assisted automated-tape-placement and autoclave
A.J. Comer,Dipa Ray,Winifred Obande,David Jones,John G. Lyons,I. Rosca,Ronan M. O' Higgins,Michael A. McCarthy +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, carbon fiber-pEEK laminates, manufactured by laser-assisted ATP (LATP) and autoclave, are compared and it is shown that LATP cooling rates are extremely rapid and suggests full through-thickness melting of the pre-preg tape may not occur.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fracture toughness of carbon fiber/polyether ether ketone composites manufactured by autoclave and laser-assisted automated tape placement
Dipa Ray,A.J. Comer,John G. Lyons,Winifred Obande,David Jones,Ronan M. O' Higgins,Michael A. McCarthy +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative study on the fracture toughness of carbon fiber/PEEK composites manufactured by autoclave and laser-assisted automated tape placement (LATP) is presented.
Journal Article
Mechanical characterisation of carbon fibre–PEEK manufactured by laser-assisted automated-tape-placement and autoclave Part A Applied science and manufacturing
A.J. Comer,Dipa Ray,Winifred Obande,David Jones,John G. Lyons,I. Rosca,Ronan M. O' Higgins,McCarthy +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, carbon fiber-pEEK laminates, manufactured by laser-assisted ATP (LATP) and autoclave, are compared and it is shown that LATP cooling rates are extremely rapid and suggests full through-thickness melting of the pre-preg tape may not occur.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical and abrasive wear response of PTFE coated glass fabric composites
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of hybridization on the interlaminar shear and abrasive wear properties of composites manufactured with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coated glass fabrics was evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abrasive wear performance of hygrothermally aged glass/PTFE composites
TL;DR: Abrasive wear tests were conducted to investigate the effect of hygrothermal ageing on the friction and wear resistance of glass/Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) composites.
