- Uncertainty in the manufacturing of fibrous thermosetting composites: A review (2014, background): “Initial tow waviness of as-received unidirectional pre-pregs may have beneficial effects during draping, since additional waviness can be introduced instead of tow misalignment, which may eliminate the formation of wrinkles [12].”
- Voids in fiber-reinforced polymer composites: A review on their formation, characteristics, and effects on mechanical performance (2018, background): “The key to identify a manufacturing defect is to check if it could be eliminated with manipulation of processing parameters.(1) Defects can be classified, based on their location, into matrix, fiber, and interface defects.”
- A critical reliability evaluation of fibre reinforced composite materials based on probabilistic micro and macro-mechanical analysis (2010, background): “Significant uncertainty sources include [2-6]: variations in volume fractions of fibre and matrix, voids in the matrix and betwee n the fibres and matrix, imperfect bonding between constituents, cracks, fibre damage, r ndom and/or contiguously packed fibres; misaligned fibres, temperature effec ts, ”
- The fatigue of carbon fibre reinforced plastics - A review (2019, background): “defects affect the quality of consolidation and thence the fatigue life [92, 93, 88, 70, 94, 71].”
