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 …

Due to application-specific tailoring, continuous fiber reinforced plastics (CoFRP) provide an
exceptional lightweight potential and are particularly suited for structural components. The …

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 …

As the requirement for low cost, high volume production of composites increases, so does
the requirement for modelling capability to help inform and optimise the composite …

A simple hyperelastic constitutive model is developed to characterize the anisotropic and
large deformation behavior of textile fabrics. In the model, the strain energy function is …

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 …

Continuous Fibre Reinforced Thermoplastics (CFRTPs) have made their way into the
aerospace an automotive industries as structural components. Thermoplastic composites …

A hyperelastic constitutive law is proposed to describe the mechanical behaviour of fibre
bundles of woven composite reinforcements. The objective of this model is to compute the …

Advancing in the process of extending the use of composites for structural parts applications,
it is inevitable to work on complex shapes. That is the main reason why understanding the …

A hyperelastic constitutive law is proposed to describe the mechanical behaviour of 3D layer
to layer angle interlock composite reinforcements. The objective of this model is to simulate …
