Abstract
If carbon fibre layers are prevented from slipping over one another as they consolidate onto a non-trivial geometry, they can be particularly susceptible to wrinkling/buckling instabilities. A one dimensional model for out-of-plane ply wrinkling during consolidation over an external radius is presented. Critical conditions for the appearance of wrinkles provide manufacturing strategies to eliminate such defects. Predicted wrinkle wavelengths and...
