I would like to firstly thank Dr. Martin Veidt for being my supervisor for this research. Without him I would not have been able to take part in this research. His guidance helped me stay on course and complete the research and required submissions on time. Dr. Veidt was a wonderful mentor and a great person. Our weekly meetings were always enjoyable and helpful. Alongside Dr. Veidt was the University of Queensland Composites research group. Various members of this research group, namely Alessandro Carcione, have given me small insights into other research avenues and provided their opinion on my results. Without the support of the research group and Dr. Veidt, this research and would have been much more stressful than it was. I would like to thank my friend, Mark Papinczak, for our late-night discussions where we threw ideas back and forth. These discussions helped me to understand the underlying phenomena involved with the project, as well as helping me see a fresh perspective on the results. Finally, I would like to thank my family. They had to endure my antisocial behaviour for the past 5 months where I would stay in my room all day working on this research, emerge for food, and then retire back to my room. Without their help and support, my degree would have been significantly more difficult than it was, and I am indebted to them for their love and support.
