Abstract
This paper presents the results of a study on the prediction of the complex rearrangement that occurs during the molding of complex parts from woven fabric prepegs. The deformation of the composite laminate to conform to a given geometry has been moddelled using the pin-jointed net model and a volume conservation assumption. Experimental measurements of the fiber orientation and the ply thickness variation have been performed on molded parts with double curvature shape made of two different fabric structures. The numerical predictions from the model are in good agreement with experimentally measured values.
