Application of the Abaqus *Fabric Model to Approximate the Draping Behavior of UD Prepregs Based on Suited Mechanical Characterization
The increasing demand for automated manufacturing processes for carbon fiber-reinforced polymers necessitates accurate forming simulations. For that purpose, the multi-purpose finite element solver Abaqus provides the phenomenological *Fabric material model. While it is designed for woven materials,...
