Shear behaviour of a glass fibre/polypropylene composite is characterized over a wide
range of strain rates and forming temperatures using the bias extension test. A temperature …

A rate dependent constitutive model for woven reinforced thermoplastic matrix composites at
forming temperatures is proposed in this work. The model is formulated using a stress …

The increasing demand for large, complex and low-cost composite aerostructures has
motivated advances in the simulation of liquid composite moulding techniques with textile …

This study focuses on the characterization of the in-plane shear response of a novel powder-
impregnated, non-consolidated PA66/glass semipreg to evaluate its forming behaviour. The …

The shear behavior of a non-consolidated powder impregnated PA66/glass woven
semipreg is investigated through bias extension tests at different temperatures and testing …

A strategy for the simulation of the whole thermoforming process, from the infrared heating to
the stamping, is presented here. Two loosely coupled simulation tools are being developed …

Non-isothermal thermoforming of thermoplastic compos ites, in which a preconsolidated
blank is heated above the melting temperature of the matrix before being formed in a press …
