Fabric forming simulation and process optimisation for composites
The development and optimisation of automated fabric preforming processes is critical for the adoption of composite materials for low cost, high volume applications. This thesis presents the development of a numerical material model to simulate the forming of 2D fabric plies into complex 3D shapes....
