Modeling and validation of gripper induced membrane forces in finite element forming simulation of continuously reinforced composites

The radial tire belt is composed of multi-layered fiber-reinforced cords with a very complex structure. Restricted by the computing speed, the simplified finite element (FE) tire model with equivalent belt is usually applied in the vehicle dynamic simulation. However, it is always difficult to obtain the material parameters of the equivalent belt. In this paper, a calculation method of equivalent belt material parameters for the simplified FE tire model is proposed based on the three-dimensional (3-D) anisotropic elasticity of the cord reinforced composites. The simulation results of the static radial stiffness, modal characteristics, and dynamic responses for the simplified FE tire model with parameters obtained by the calculation method were compared with experiment results. The results show that the deviation between the experiment and simulation is acceptable, and the validity of the calculation method is verified.

This paper deals with investigating the tensile characteristics of biaxial weft-knitted reinforced composites in terms of stiffness, strength and failure mechanism. The biaxial weft-knitted fabric was produced on an electronic flat knitting machine by E-glass yarns and then was impregnated with epoxy resin. Using an accurate geometrical model, the composite unit cell was designed in Abaqus software’s environment. Tensile tests were simulated in different directions on the created unit cell and the stiffness was calculated. By applying the proper failure theories, the composite strength was predicted and then critical regions of the unit cell were determined. In the next step, a micromechanical approach was also applied to estimate the same tensile features. Failure theories were also applied to predict the strength and most susceptible areas for failure phenomenon in the composite unit cell. The tensile properties of the produced composites were measured and compared with outputs of the finite element and micromechanical approaches. The results showed that the meso-scale finite element analysis approach can well predict the composite strength. In contrast, the meso-scale analytical equation model was not able to predict it acceptably because this model ignores the strain concentration. Both meso-scale finite element analysis and meso-scale analytical equation approaches predicted the similar locations for the composite failure in wale and course directions.
