Large deformation simulation of anisotropic material using an updated Lagrangian finite element method

A multiscale quasicontinuum method for dissipative lattice models and discrete networks

“…Individual microscale events such as fiber failure and bond failure, precursors for macroscale failure, can be readily incorporated in lattice models, whereas these they are not easily included in continuum models. Even the incorporation of global mechanisms such as large rotations may lead to relatively complex continuum models and finite element implementations (Peng and Cao, 2005;Ten Thije et al, 2007), whereas they are naturally captured by truss networks.…”

Simulation of 3D interlock composite preforming

“…Nevertheless, a continuous material superimposed on the fibrous material can be postulated. Such approaches are numerous for the composite reinforcement [15][16][17][20][21][22]. If these models can easily be implemented in standard finite elements, identification of the homogenized material parameters remains a difficult and open problem because finite strains and fiber orientations update must be taken into account.…”

Design and Potentiality of an Apparatus for Measuring Yarn/Yarn and Fabric/Fabric Friction

“…Many methods have been proposed recently to achieve representative sheet forming simulations for one layer of dry or thermoplastic fabric, through different types of finite elements (trusses, shells, membrane elements), with continuous, discrete or semi-discrete approaches [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Several key entry parameters for the simulation models need to be determined.…”
