Finite Element Simulations for CFRP Press Forming Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

The macro-scale and meso/macro-scale simulations for press forming of CFRP sheet using ABAQUS S/W were both implemented to study the influence fiber orientation on the formability of CFRP sheet. The Hashin damage criterion was used to predict the fiber failure in the forming process. The properties of plain woven fiber fabric were obtained from the tensile test and bias extension test. The forming experiments with rectangular punch were carried out to validate the numerical results.
