Finite-element investigation of the compressive strength of non-crimp-fabric-based composites
Sylvain Drapier,Michael R Wisnom +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the compressive strength of composites based on non-crimped fabric (NCF) under axial loading has been investigated using a two-dimensional repeating finite-element model through the thickness of a biaxial fabric, and the NCF compressive properties to the geometrical and mechanical characteristics of the constituents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical modelling of liquid infusion into fibrous media undergoing compaction
TL;DR: In this paper, an overall model for the study of non-isothermal fluid flow across a highly compressible porous medium is proposed, in order to be included into a finite element software.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of the stitching density on the transverse permeability of non-crimped new concept (NC2) multiaxial reinforcements: measurements and predictions
TL;DR: In this article, the transverse permeability of new multiaxial stitched materials, referred to as NC2, is investigated in the framework of Darcy's flows, and the results from a simplified FE study carried out at the blanket scale are shown to correlate quite well the experimental measurements and evidences established in the first part.
Journal ArticleDOI
A structural approach of plastic microbuckling in long fibre composites: comparison with theoretical and experimental results
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare some predictions obtained from a structural plastic microbuckling model presented in detail by Drapier et al. (1999) with theoretical and experimental results from the literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental assessment and analytical 2D predictions of the stocking pressures induced on a model leg by Medical Compressive Stockings.
TL;DR: In order to describe rationally, for the first time, the pressure distribution induced on a leg, a combined experiment-simulation 2D methodology has been set to validate this mechanical approach.
