Approach of the Constitutive Material Behaviour of Textile Composites through Simulation
نویسنده
چکیده
A complete approach for the determination of the complex constitutive behaviour of textile composites through finite element simulation is presented in this paper. In this work, simulations of different loading cases are carried out on small samples of textile composites, taking into account all individual fibers of the fabric and interactions taking place between them. The most delicate issue is related to the modelling of contactfriction interactions between fibers, and the solution of the nonlinear problem that follows up by the means of robust algorithms. The efficiency of these algorithms, and the increase of capacities of high performance computing, allow to simulate samples made of several hundreds of interlocked fibers.

Computation of Strength and Failure of Textile Composites in a Multiscale Simulation
Textile composites describe a broad range of polymer composite materials with textile reinforcements, from woven and non-crimp commodity fabrics to three dimensional textiles. In a general manner textile composites are based on textile preforms manufactured by some textile processing technique and on some resin infiltration and consolidation technique. Due to the complex three-dimensional struc...
متن کاملSimulation of Viscous Textile Composite Sheet Forming Based on a Unit Cell Energy Model
An explicit commercial Finite Element (FE) code is used to simulate the forming of a thermoplastic viscous textile composite sheet over a hemispherical tool. The main success of this work is in combining two distinct models. The first model is a non-orthogonal rate-independent constitutive model that has been implemented previously in a commercial FE code [1, 2]. The second is a rate and temper...
