Unidirectional Fibre Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites: A Forming Study

161 Seiten, Dissertation Technische Universität München (2020), Softcover, A5

Zusammenfassung / Abstract

The thermoforming of unidirectional fibre reinforced thermoplastics facilitates the manufacturing of parts within short cycle times. Within the scope of this thesis the influences of different process parameters on the resulting part quality are studied. Besides the experimental studies, the forming behaviour is analysed using finite element simulations. The results are then compared to the outcome of the experimental studies and the possibilities and limits of the used simulation method are presented.
