Research interests
Prasad Potluri’s primary research focus is on ‘Textile Composites’ with applications in Aerospace, Automotive, Marine and Energy sectors. He has an inter-disciplinary approach to research and combines aspects of Robotics, Textile Processing, Mechanics of flexible fibre assemblies and Experimental mechanics. In 2000, he established Textile Composites Group in order to deliver world-class research.
Textile Preforming
Combining Robotics and Textile Processing, following preforming techniques are currently under development:
Robotic Fibre Placement for creating thick near-net preforms with through thickness reinforcement
Braiding of advanced composite preforms for bending, torsion and internal pressure loads
Novel multi-needle stitching process for sandwich and thick composites
3D weaving of lap-joint preforms, multi-step and tapered preforms; PI, T, I sections
Non-crimp woven preforms
Processing Mechanics Dry fibre assemblies exhibit large deformation behaviour during composites processing. Elastica-based energy minimisation techniques have been employed to model the preform compliance and to keep track of tow deformations.
Draping of biaxial fabrics on double-curvature surfaces using kinematic and differential geometry based algorithms
Fabric compliance models: biaxial tension, transverse compaction, in-plane shear and out-of-plane bending
Mechanics of Textile Composites
Micro- and meso-scale mechanics of textile composites
Non-orthogonal Unit Cell modelling of textile composites
Prediction of stiffness and strength of textile composites
Influence of delaminations on dynamic properties of textile composites
