Modeling of Fiber Jamming Phenomena during Processing of Fiber Reinforced Composite Parts

Abstract:

A current research effort at the Polymer Engineering Center (PEC) consists on providing the tools required to understand and predict defects that arise during the molding of fiber reinforced composites. This review starts with a comprehensive research summary in the field of computer simulation of composites molding and then presents our current work regarding computer simulations of flexible fiber suspensions
