Experimental Data Processing

01 Jul 2017 | Downloads | Contributor(s): LOUKHAM SHYAMSUNDER, Subramaniam Rajan

Finite element models are being actively developed to model composite systems. One such is the MAT213 material model implemented into LS-DYNA [1,2]. MAT213 is an orthotropic material model with three distinct components - elastic-inelastic deformation, damage and failure. The model is driven by a...

Fiber orientation measurement from mesoscale CT scans of prepreg platelet molded composites

18 Jul 2019 | Publications | Contributor(s): Sergey Kravchenko

X-ray computed tomography (CT) analysis is used to measure the heterogeneous fiber orientation fields in a 20 cm3 composite bracket made from prepreg platelet-based molding compound (PPMC). The as-molded mesostructure of the complete geometry is captured using...

Fiber Orientation Prediction for Discontinuous Fiber Composites: Fundamentals and Future Trends

08 Feb 2023 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Charles Tucker

When composite materials with discontinuous fibers are processed into their final shape, any flow alters the fiber orientation pattern and affects the properties of the final composite. It is now standard practice to predict fiber orientation patterns and the resulting mechanical properties in...

Fiber-Optic-Based In-Process Monitoring of CFRP Structures for Material Quality Assurance

27 Jan 2022 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Nobuo Takeda

Although carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites have been used extensively in many aerospace structures such as Boeing 787 and Airbus 350, low-cost and high-rate production CFRP are highly demanded for next-generation single-aisle commercial aircraft. Competition has been increasing...

Fibrous Shell Approach and 3D Second Gradient Modeling for Textile Composite Draping

10 Dec 2021 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Philippe Boisse

Composite manufacturing processes are often complex and process simulation is a way to avoid costly trial-anderror development. Simulations of composites textile reinforcements draping use shell finite elements for which the bending behavior is very particular. The fibrous composition of the...
