An efficient finite element model has been developed in Abaqus/Explicit to solve highly non-linear fabric forming problems, using a non-orthogonal constitutive relation and membrane elements to model bi-axial fabrics. 1D cable-spring elements have been defined to model localised inter-ply stitch-bonds, introduced to facilitate automated handling of multi-ply preforms. Forming simulation results indicate...
A composite tube, consisting of aluminium-magnesium-silicon alloy (6061) reinforced with hoop-wound alumina-based fibres, has been manufactured by using the method of liquid metal infiltration. The composite was well-consolidated with a good bond between the fibres and the matrix, as evinced by the close similarity between measured values of modulus and rule of mixtures calculations. Although...
