1. A new approach to simulating the draping of prepreg composites manufactured by hand layup
University essay from KTH/LättkonstruktionerAbstract : Kinematic drape simulations, of applying woven reinforcements to complex geometries, have to date largely focused on characterising the ply shape and the deformations from fitting it to the surface of a mould; amongst other manufacturing management outputs. This is increasingly unsatisfactory: it does not allow for any prediction into the effect of geometry and changes on the layup; does not realistically simulate the draping process as achieved by operators; instruct on the process of how to manipulate a ply to achieve the deformations required, or; enable the information gathered to be exploited in simple useful formats.
