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

Composite materials parts manufacturing is based on the interactions of simultaneous as
well as consecutive process steps. These influence the composite part properties and …

The increase in the number of structural applications of composite materials, especially in
the aerospace and automotive industries, has led to a demand for robust models to simulate …

Optimisation of manufacturing process parameters requires resource-intensive search in a
high-dimensional parameter space. In some cases, physics-based simulations can replace …

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 …

Textiles have been used as preforms for high-performance composite materials. Fiber
architecture of the preform has a decisive effect on mechanical properties of composite. As a …

The forming of textile reinforcements is an important stage in the manufacturing of textile
