| Description | In this project we have: 1. Developed new test methods for ply/ply and ply/tool friction, and characterised materials supplied by our automotive partner, JLR. 2. Developed the basis of a modelling approach to predict friction based on the fibre architecture and sliding interface. 3. Conducted forming simulations to demonstrate the importance of accurate friction data on the fibre pattern within formed composites. 4. Developed and validated a new friction-based buckling criterion which can be implemented in computationally efficient membrane analysis rather than computationally expensive shell analysis |
| Exploitation Route | Materials data to be incorporated within materials databases by partner Granta Design. Friction data may inform preform manufacturing and support process modelling by partner JLR. |
