Experimental Investigation About Stamping Behaviour of 3D Warp Interlock Composite Preforms

Enhanced modeling of 3D composite preform deformations taking into account local fiber bending stiffness

“…1 [1], [2]. The resulting reinforcement is 3D with no specific yarn set in the transverse direction [3]- [9]. The mechanical properties across the thickness are thus much improved and, above all, the issue of the possible delamination of laminated composites is overcome.…”

“…The forming stage presents an important role during the whole manufacturing process of high-performance composite materials, especially for RTM processes (Rudd and Long, 1997;Potter, 1999;Parnas, 2000) and CFRTP resin (continuous fibre reinforcements and thermoplastic resin; Maison et al, 1998;Soulat et al, 2006;De Luca and Pickett, 1998;Brouwer et al, 2003;Wang et al, 2013;Dufour et al, 2013).

Investigation about the Manufacturing Technique of the Composite Corner Fitting Part

“…Therefore, it is important to predict the feasible forming/thermoforming conditions by numerical simulation [13][14][15][16][49][50][51][52][53]. Compared with the 3D weaving technique, composites forming is more efficient for the manufacturing of multilayer laminates and interlock fabric [54]. The 3D weaving can manage well the tension of yarns, which can be an advantage compared with the preforming especially for natural fibres [17,18,22].…”
