NDT-based performance prediction for wrinkled composites under compressive load

The work in this thesis aimed to develop a method to transfer the three-dimensional (3D) non-destructive characterised data into finite-element models containing as-manufactured structural details. Two types of fibre-misalignment defects: out-of-plane wrinkles and in-plane waviness, were investigate...
