MULTISCALE MODELING OF A HIGHLY REINFORCED THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITE : FROM MICROSTRUCTURAL SIMULATIONS OF THE TRANSVERSE DAMAGE KINETICS TOWARDS ENGINEERING STRUCTURE COMPUTATIONS.

Pierre-Alexis Poulet (MINES ParisTech) Sébastien Joannès (MINES ParisTech) Lucien Laiarinandrasana (MINES ParisTech)

 

Finite Element simulations based on representative periodic cells highlighted the effects of the variability of the microstructure on the stress-strain curve, as well as on the evolution of the porosity in the matrix between fibres.

A FINITE ELEMENT MODEL FOR PLAIN WEAVE FABRIC BASED ON AN INNER BEAM STRUCTURE

Benjamin Kaiser (Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen) Thomas Pyttel (Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen) Eberhard Haug (ESI Group) Fabian Duddeck (Technical University of Munich)

 

The paper presents a finite shell element for plain weave fabrics. It is designed for draping and forming simulations. Instead of a classical constitutive law, a unit cell is modeled with crossed beams.

CHARACTERIZATION OF WRINKLING AND DE-WRINKLING BEHAVIOUR OF WOVEN FABRICS USING A MULTI-STEP BIAXIAL BIAS EXTENSION TEST

Armin Rashidi Mehrabadi (University of Bristol) Abbas Milani (University of Bristol)

 

A multi-step biaxial bias extension (MBBE) test procedure is proposed to characterize forming and flattening of wrinkles of different sizes at shear angles below and above the locking, as both often seen in the composites thermo-forming practice.

EFFECT OF SPECIMEN WIDTH ON STRENGTH IN OFF-AXIS COMPRESSION TESTS

Dennis Wilhelmsson (Chalmers University of Technology) Leif Asp (Chalmers University of Technology) Renaud Gutkin (Swerea SICOMP) Fredrik Edgren (GKN Aerospace)

 

Compression tests have been performed according to ASTM D6641 to check whether 12 mm is a sufficient width for off-axis tests of a unidirectional Non Crimp Fabric (NCF) reinforced carbon-fibre composite.

NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF TRIAXIAL WOVEN CFRP UNDER TENSILE LOADING

Jun Koyanagi (Tokyo University of Science) Erina Imai (Tokyo University of Science) Ryo Higuchi (Graduate School of Tohoku University) Akinori Yoshimura (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) Tomonaga Okabe (Tohoku University) Satoru Yoneyama (Aoyama Gakuin University) Takahira Aoki (University of Tokyo)

 

Triaxial woven CFRP is numerically modeled by finite element analysis very accuately. Under a tensile loading, strain distribution obtained numerically is compared with that obtained experimentally. They show good agreement.

VIRTUAL MECHANICAL TESTING OF A COMPLEX 3D WOVEN FABRIC: A UNIFIED SIMULATION METHODOLOGY FOR DEFORMATION MECHANICS OF TEXTILE STRUCTURES DURING TENSION, SHEAR AND DRAPING

Lode Daelemans (Ghent University) Jana Faes (Ghent University) Samir Allaoui (Univ Orléans) Gilles Hivet (Univ Orléans) Wim Van Paepegem (Ghent University)

 

We show a viable simulation methodology which allows for the virtual testing of fibrous materials such as 3D woven fabrics based on the digital element concept.

STRESSES ALONG THE HOLE BOUNDARY OF UNSYMMETRIC COMPOSITE LAMINATES VIA BOUNDARY ELEMENT METHOD

Chyanbin Hwu (National Cheng Kung University) H. W. Chang (National Cheng Kung University)

 

The unsymmetric composite laminates are analyzed by the coupled stretching-bending boundary element. To avoid the singular problem encountered on the boundary node, a new method is proposed, which can be used to calculate the stresses along the hole.
