The draping of textile semi-finished products for complex geometries is still prone to errors, e.g., wrinkles, gaps, and fiber undulations, leading reduced mechanical properties the composite. Reinforcing textiles made from carbon (CF) rovings (i.e., endless continuous fibers) can be draped mainly based on their ability deform under in-plane shearing. However, CF are hardly stretchable in direction. These limited degrees freedom make production shell-shaped standard CF-roving fabrics...
A coreless manufacturing process for generic 3D rigid frame topologies will be introduced in this paper. The aim is to extend the field of filament winding from mainly 2D-shells and some exceptional cases frames.

On basis, design methodology being created deductively verified by designing beam three-point bending load case. composite designed on macro level simulation approach...
Coreless filament winding technologies possess the potential to flexibly produce lightweight rigid frame structures at comparably low costs. The key versatility, geometrical freedom and cost-effectiveness is avoidance of core elements. Existing research on frames focusses primarily “isotruss” or “lattice” structures, manufactured by depositing fibers polygon-shaped mandrels with carved-out gaps. Therefore, an investigation into performance coreless wound laminates their material...

Weft-knitted fabrics offer an excellent formability into complex shapes for composite application. In biaxial weft-knitted fabric, additional yarns are inserted in the warp (wale-wise) and weft (course-wise) directions as a reinforcement. Due to these straight yarns, mechanical properties of such better than those unreinforced fabrics. The forming process flat 3D preforms is challenging requires numerical simulation. this paper, behavior simulated by means macro- meso-scale finite element...
