a b s t r a c tThe paper aims at providing practical guidelines for the manufacture of composite parts reinforced by tufting. The need for through-thickness reinforcement of high performance carbon fibre composite structures is reviewed and various options are presented. The tufting process is described in detail and relevant aspects of the technology are analysed such as: equipment configuration and setup, latest advances in tooling, thread selection, preform supporting systems and choice of ancillary materials. Effects of the process parameters on the preform fibre architecture and on the meso-structure of the reinforced component are discussed. Special emphasis is given to the different options available in terms of tuft insertion and loops management.Potential fields of application of the technology are investigated as well as the limitations of its applicability in relation to preform nature and geometry. Critical issues which may arise during the manufacturing process concerning thread insertion, loops formation, alteration to the fabric fibres layout or local volume fraction are identified.Crown

“…In the literature, these data have already been used for the analysis of composites degradation. For instance, kinematic fields are employed for the study of damageinduced displacement/strain heterogeneities [11,12]; examination of thermal fields and heat dissipation allows a non-destructive evaluation of internal defects and the monitoring of damage initiation and propagation [13,14]; the knowledge of the volume density distribution finally provides the debonding zones within the material [15,16]. Yet, in the context of polymeric composite materials, each family of full-field data still remains used separately from the other.…”

“…Based on the above discussion, in order to quantify the local strains on the surface layers as well as inside the laminate, the following experimental approach is employed during the tensile test of the composite specimen: a) the local strain on the composite surface is quantified using the digital image correlation technique (LIMESS [9]) together with surface mounted fibre optic sensors (FBG-Fibre Bragg Grating); b) embedded fibre optic sensors were used to obtain the maximum and minimum local strain values inside the laminate. The motivation for the use of this experimental procedure is obtained from the work of [10,11].…”
