The spring-in behavior of woven carbon fiber/polycarbonate thermoplastic composite is investigated by both the experiment and simulation ways. These thermoplastic composite plates are thermoformed into V-shaped structures, and the final bending angle is measured after demolding. In the finite element simulation to describe the thermoforming and spring-in behavior of the composite, the discrete approach is adopted to simulate the behavior of woven carbon fabric and combined with a resin model. The results from both the experiment and the simulation indicate the spring-in behavior of this thermoplastic composite. For [(±45)]6 blanks, the spring-in angle is around 2.60° for a 60-degree V-shape and around 1.72° for a 90-degree V-shape. For [(0/90)]6 blanks, the spring-in angle is around 2.38° and 1.19° for 60-degree and 90-degree V-shapes, respectively. The [(±45)]6 blank always has a slightly higher spring-in angle than the [(0/90)]6 blank, even though the difference is small. The finite element results show 6% to 12% differences with the experimental values if the spring-in angle is used, and the error is less than 0.6% when the bending angle is compared. By using the present finite element analysis, the results indicate that the stacking sequence could have an evident effect on the spring-in angle, and symmetric laminates have less spring-in effect as compared to their unsymmetric counterparts.
