A meso-scale finite element modelling strategy was developed to investigate the effect of
hybridisation on the compaction response of multilayer stacks combining glass and carbon …

A complete simulation process chain has been used to predict the production and
subsequent injection of over-braided textile preforms. A range of mandrel geometries and …

This paper presents a non-linear, large strain constitutive approach to modelling the
mechanics of fibrous tows. The isotropic and linear St. Venant hyperelastic model was …

Extensive experimental test programs are required for the characterization of textile
permeability, which is essential for the design of liquid composite molding processes. In this …

A novel method is presented in this paper to allow for realistic creation of 2D woven
composite fabric models considering deformation modes incurred during manufacturing …

Fiber reinforced plastics/polymers (FRP) provide excellent mechanical properties and
corrosion resistance. Therefore, they are increasingly integrated into multi-material designs …

An automated tool has been developed for generation of permeability predictions for multi-
layered unit cells utilising textile modelling techniques. This tool has been used to predict …

Fibrous textiles are subjected to dry through-thickness compaction during most of the
composites manufacturing processes. Usual tow models implemented in textile numerical …

Dramatic improvements in power generation, energy storage, system integration and light-
weighting are needed to meet increasingly stringent carbon emissions targets for future …

In this study, the empirical modeling of the compaction response of different fibrous
reinforcements with a focus on natural fiber‐based textiles is investigated. The main …
