Abstract:Abstract. Understanding the mechanical properties of carbon fiber reinforcements is necessary for the simulation of forming processes. A unit-cell mesoscopic model provides a tool to implement virtual material characterizations which can be served as an input for macroscopic modelling, avoiding complex experimental tests and significantly reducing calculation time. Meanwhile, the occurrence of some local defects during the forming process, such as the gapping, would be easier to be detected through a mesoscopi… Show more
