The bias-extension test is a rather simple experiment aiming to determine in-plane shear
properties of textile composite reinforcements. However the mechanics during the test …

Due to application-specific tailoring, continuous fiber reinforced plastics (CoFRP) provide an
exceptional lightweight potential and are particularly suited for structural components. The …

Hencky (Über die angenäherte Lösung von Stabilitätsproblemen im Raum mittels der
elastischen Gelenkkette. Ph. D. thesis, Engelmann, 1921) proposed a discrete model for …

We determine the effective behavior of periodic structures made of welded elastic bars.
Taking into account the fact that flexural and torsional stiffnesses are much smaller than the …

This article presents a survey of the literature about the numerical forming of continuous fibre
reinforced composite material. This review shows that in spite of some models are defined …

As the requirement for low cost, high volume production of composites increases, so does
the requirement for modelling capability to help inform and optimise the composite …

The forming of textile reinforcements is an important stage in the manufacturing of textile
composite parts with Liquid Composite Molding process. Fiber orientations and part …

In [1] a novel metamaterial has been designed and studied, whose performances include an
enhanced toughness in extension: one of the problems to be solved in the further …

In most cases, fibrous composite reinforcements can be modeled as a continuum medium.
Nevertheless, it is shown on some examples that the models in the standard continuum …

This paper introduces a novel approach to include the high transverse compliance of textile
materials into conventional forming simulations, allowing for the compaction process of thick …
