Electrically-Heated Ceramic Composite Tooling for Out-of-Autoclave Manufacturing of Large Composite Structures
Ó Brádaigh, Conchúr M.; Doyle, Adrian; Doyle, Derrick; Feerick, P.J. (2011)This paper describes the development of electrically-heated ceramic composite tooling, aimed primarily at the manufacture of large composites structures, for aerospace or for wind energy. The tooling is designed to operate ... -
Physical experimental static testing and structural design optimisation for a composite wind turbine blade
Fagan, Edward M.; Flanagan, M.; Leen, Sean B.; Flanagan, Tomas; Doyle, Adrian; Goggins, Jamie (Elsevier, 2016-12-10)This study presents experimental testing on a 13 m long glass-fibre epoxy composite wind turbine blade. The results of the test were used to calibrate finite element models. A design optimisation study was then performed ... -
Rotational moulding of PEEK polymer liners with carbon fibre/PEEK over tape-placement for space cryogenic fuel tanks
Murray, Brendan R.; Doyle, Adrian; Feerick, P. J.; Semprimoschnig, Christopher O.A.; Leen, Sean B.; Ó Brádaigh, Conchúr M. (Elsevier, 2017-07-15)PEEK polymers are investigated as replacement materials for metallic liners in composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs) for fuel tank applications in space. A novel, integrally heated, rotational moulding tool has ...
