Numerical modelling of compaction induced defects in thick 2D textile composites

This paper introduces a novel approach to include the high transverse compliance of textile materials into conventional forming simulations, allowing for the compaction process of thick 2D textile composites to be simulated. With this approach, the textile is presented as a continuous material using...
