Abstract
In the present work, a thermo-visco-elastic model for forming simulation of woven thermoplastic composites has been proposed considering the effect of temperature and the influence of strain rate. This model is implanted into a new membrane finite element, which can consider not only the strain in fibre direction but also the shear caused by the relative movement of weft and warp during the deformation of woven composite material. The simulations of bias-test have been performed to validate this method. Finally, the forming process of an automotive part in woven composite material is simulated with this method.
