Damage and permeability in tape-laid Thermoplastic Composite cryogenic tanks
Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 2015Co-Authors: D. M. Grogan, Conchúr M. Ó Brádaigh, J. Patrick Mcgarry, Sean B. LeenAbstract:This work presents a combined experimental and numerical approach to the design and analysis of tape-laid Thermoplastic Composite cryogenic tanks. A detailed material and defect characterisation of automated tape-laid CF/PEEK is undertaken using optical micrography and 3D X-ray CT (computed tomography) as well as cryogenic testing to investigate damage formation. Resulting material data is used as input for a novel XFEM (extended finite element method)-cohesive zone methodology which is used to predict intra- and inter-ply damage in an internally pressurised cryogenic tank. An optimised tank lay-up is presented and analysed using the numerical method to ensure resistance to microcrack formation and fuel leakage through the tank walls under operating loads.

characterisation of metal Thermoplastic Composite hybrid joints by means of a mandrel peel test
Composites Part B-engineering, 2016Co-Authors: Matthias De Rooij, Wouter Johannes Bernardus Grouve, Laure WarneAbstract:Fastener free metal–carbon fibre reinforced Thermoplastic Composite hybrid joints show potential for application in aerospace structures. The strength of the metal–Thermoplastic Composite interface is crucial for the performance of the entire hybrid joint. Optimisation of the interface requires an evaluation method for these hybrid structures. This work demonstrates the applicability of a mandrel peel test method for this purpose. The suitability of the mandrel peel test for certain hybrid joints is evaluated. Furthermore, a series of parameters in mandrel peel test are assessed in order to optimise the evaluation of the performance of metal–Thermoplastic interface.
