Experimental Approach for Optimizing Dry Fabric Formability
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to understand the mechanisms involved in the forming step of LCM processes and provide validation data to numerical models, a specific experimental device has been designed in collaboration between PRISME Institute and EADS. This toot also makes it possible to test the feasibility to obtain specific double curved shape constituted with dry fabric reinforcement. It contains one mechanical module containing the classical tools in forming process, (punch, blank holder, and open-die), and one optical module to measure the 3D-deformed shape and the distribution of local deformations, like shear angles of the woven reinforcement during all the process. The goal of this paper is to present the potentialities and the first results obtained with this device.

A Novel Approach for Formability Prediction of Tailor Welded Blank
Formability of Tailor Welded Blank (TWB) is an important parameter which limits this kind of blanks usage. A forming criterion for tailor welded blank is presented based on the analytical model in this research. This criterion suggests Limit Strength Ratio (LSR) and Limit Thickness Ratio (LTR) for forming limit of TWB. When thickness ratio or strength ratio in tailor welded blank is greater tha...
متن کاملAnalyse of Woven Reinforcement Preforming by Experimental Approach
An experimental device of dry preform stamping was designed and carried out for the first stage of the RTM process. This tool was developed to test the feasibility to obtain specific double curved shape constituted with dry fabric reinforcement. Optical strain measurement can quantify defects on the composite piece. It is just enough to change the desired punch-die set of the preform. This tool...

Introduction: In addition to its protective role, dressings not only prevent infection, but also accelerate wound healing process. In this study, the influence of optimizing the properties of the calendered needle-punched nonwoven fabrics using the finishing materials of Honey, Aloe Vera, Chitosan and Nano Argentum Nitrate for the end-usage as dressing has been investigated. Methods: The prepa...
متن کاملA simplified finite element model for draping of woven material
A model for draping of woven fabric is described which is intermediate to the two main approaches currently used, kinematic modelling and comprehensive finite element modelling. The approach used is a simple unit-cell finite element model, with the fabric modelled by a network of simple truss elements, connected across the ‘diagonals’ by soft elements to mimic the shear stiffness of the materia...
