Abstract Details

2017, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Mechanical Engineering.
The forming of composite materials may lead to fiber angle change during the deformation. The change of fiber orientations can lead to changes in mechanical properties of the composite material. Therefore, it is important to know the changes of the fiber orientations in order to calculate effective material properties of the material. The constitutive model for obtaining properties of the composite material has been investigated in this study. Zampaloni originally developed the preferred fiber orientation (PFO) model in his PhD study, in which he tracked the fiber orientation during the composite forming process. He showed that PFO model gives more accurate results compared with the Abaqus/CAE model. The simple tension and shear tests were studied with both Abaqus simulation software, and analytical calculations. Results from both models were compared, and it was shown that compared with Abaqus, the PFO model tracks the fiber angle correctly. The stamping of a hat shape section was also simulated with the PFO model and simulation results were compared with experiments. A good agreement between simulation results and experimental results were obtained, which suggests that the PFO model can predict fiber angle change correctly, and its results are closer to the real forming situation.
