    • Electroplating polymer based additive manufactured parts for enhanced structural performance 

      Seneviratne, Waruna P.; Tomblin, John S.; Saathoff, Brandon L. (DEStech Publications, 2021)
      Additive manufacturing has been adopted in many aerospace and defense applications to reduce weight and buy-to-fly ratios of low-volume high- complexity parts. Polymer-based additive manufacturing processes such as Fused ...

    • Induction heating of CF/PEKK laminates using homogenization techniques 

      Seneviratne, Waruna P.; Tomblin, John S.; Teoh, Jerome J.C.; Smith, Nicholas; Saathoff, Brandon L. (DEStech Publications, 2021)
      The primary heat generation mechanisms of carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic laminates during induction heating are joule losses, junction heating with contact resistance and dielectric hysteresis. In relation, these ...

    • Injection repair for restoration of composite properties 

      Seneviratne, Waruna P.; Saathoff, Brandon L.; Palliyaguru, Upul R.; Hayes, B.S.; Dixon, D.G. (SAMPE, 2019-03)
      Resin injection is a less intrusive method of repair and does not require near the post processing of other composite repair methods. However, until recently this method of repair has not allowed the restoration of the ...

    • Numerical studies on buckling and post-buckling behavior of stiffened curved composite panel with repairs 

      Seneviratne, Waruna P.; Saseendran, Vishnu; Perera, Shenal; Saathoff, Brandon L.; Rubesinghe, Dhanachandra L.; Tomblin, John S. (DEStech Publications, 2019-09)
      Composite stiffened panels are widely employed in the aircraft industry. In particular, curved panels stiffened with hat-stringers are utilized in fuselages. The panels comprise of very thin skin to which stringers are ...
