A global-to-local sub modelling approach to investigate the effect of lubrication during double diaphragm forming of multi-ply biaxial non-crimp fabric preforms (2023)
Journal Article

The forming behaviour of preforms constructed from multiple plies of Non-Crimp Fabric (NCF) has been investigated for manufacturing a complex double-curved geometry using Double Diaphragm Forming (DDF). An established multi-resolution finite element...

The influence of inter-ply friction during double-diaphragm forming of biaxial NCFs (2023)
Journal Article

Inter-ply friction plays an important role in the formation of defects in automated preforming of complex components, as relative sliding between plies can generate local compressive stresses in the direction of the primary yarns, leading to out-of-p...
