Composites Processing ScienceDeveloped and demonstrated methods for improving manufacturing robustness of out-of-autoclave prepregs. Acoustics and VibrationExperimentally investigate the performance of arrays of lightweight membrane-type acoustic metamaterials for narrow-band near-perfect acoustic reflection. Experimentally and analytically determine wave speed and acoustic transmission through composite sandwich structures. Adapt novel microtruss structures for use as core in… Show more Composites Processing ScienceDeveloped and demonstrated methods for improving manufacturing robustness of out-of-autoclave prepregs.
