Bending properties play a significant role in the forming of textile composites reinforcements,
particularly in determining the shape of wrinkles. The physics related to the bending of …

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 …

This focused review for the development of the thermo-stamping process and simulation is
concentrated on the systemically overview of the representative publications reflecting the …

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 …

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 …

An approach for modeling rate-dependent bending behavior in FE forming simulation for
either a unidirectional or a woven/bidirectional reinforcement is presented. The applicability …

Thermoplastic composite materials are being increasingly used in many domains, such as
automotive, marine and aeronautics. This growing interest is due to the relatively good …

There are various processes practiced in a market for manufacturing axisymmetrical cup
with significant forming depth among which deep drawing process is most prompt. The deep …

Currently, there is no established and cost-effective method for the bending characterization
of continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites. Isothermal mechanical testing …

The paper presents a new modelling concept for describing the compressibility of
toughened uncured prepregs over a wide range of processing conditions (ie automatic fibre …
