Abstract
Shape distortions often occur after the forming of woven fabric reinforced composite products. The thermomechanical behaviour of the product must be known in order to predict these product distortions. A two-step strategy is proposed to model the thermomechanical behaviour of a product. First, the fibre reorientation during processing is predicted, including the process induced fibre stresses. Secondly, a Classical Laminate Theory based model accounts for the locally changed thermomechanical properties of the composite. The strategy is demonstrated with a hemispherical product.
