INTEGRATIVE NUMERICAL TECHNIQUES FOR FIBRE REINFORCED POLYMERS - FORMING PROCESS AND ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENTIATED ANISOTROPY

摘要

In the current paper, the authors developed two different numerical methods for fibre reinforced polymers. The first method deals with the simulation of an innovative manufacturing process based on filament winding for glass and carbon fibre reinforced polymers. The second developed numerical method aims at modelling a high level of material complexity and allowing reciprocal confrontation with a geometric differentiated global structure. The developed numerical techniques served as a basis for the design and implementation of a Pavilion built on the campus of the University of Stuttgart in 2012 and could thus be tested and proved.
