Abstract:The performance of braided fiber-reinforced composites is determined by the braided structure, so yarn spatial arrangement prediction is a crucial step in the manufacturing process of fiber-reinforced composites. This study aims to predict fabric on arbitrary mandrels based on the yarn interactions, especially for mandrels with flat surfaces. An interaction yarn deposition model is proposed to simulate the process of braiding arbitrary-shaped mandrels. A dynamic deposition model is established at the moment of… Show more
