Simulation of wrinkling during textile composite reinforcement forming. Influence of tensile, in-plane shear and bending stiffnesses
Résumé
Wrinkling is one of the most common flaws that occur during textile composite reinforcement forming processes. These wrinkles are frequent because of the possible relative motion of fibres making up the reinforcement, leading to a very weak textile bending stiffness. It is necessary to simulate their onset but also their growth and their shape in order to verify that they don't extend to the useful part of the preform. In this paper the simulation of textile composite reinforcement forming and wrinkling is based on a simplified form of virtual internal work defined according to tensions, in-plane shear and bending moments on a unit woven cell. The role of the three rigidities (tensile, in-plane shear and bending) in wrinkling simulations is analysed. If in-plane shear stiffness plays a main role for onset of wrinkles in double-curved shape forming, there is no direct relation between shear angle and wrinkling. Wrinkling is a global phenomenon depending on all strains and stiffnesses and on boundary conditions. The bending stiffness mainly determines the shape of the wrinkles and it is not possible to perform a wrinkle simulation using a membrane approach.
