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

The increase in the number of structural applications of composite materials, especially in
the aerospace and automotive industries, has led to a demand for robust models to simulate …

Textiles have been used as preforms for high-performance composite materials. Fiber
architecture of the preform has a decisive effect on mechanical properties of composite. As a …

Wrinkling is one of the main flaws that can appear during forming processes of textile
composite reinforcements. When the forming is carried out on a multi-layered fabric the …

The simulation of thermoplastic prepreg forming is achieved by alternating thermal and
forming analyses. The thermal properties are obtained from a mesoscopic analysis and a …

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 …

Architectural membrane (fabrics and foils) buildings have attracted considerable attention
due to good material properties, adjustable building performance and reasonable load …

The derivation by variational asymptotic homogenization of a 2D-continuum model
describing large elastic planar deformations of a discrete bi-pantographic structure is …
