Abstract
Fibrous tows used in continuous fibre-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) deform
geometrically during the production of composite products. The cross-sectional
geometry of the tow is influenced by the load-induced deformation mechanisms. A
study of the effect of two commonly assumed geometrical tow shapes on an
equivalent pressure distribution in a tow-on-a-pin spreading arrangement was
performed. The preliminary results show that both elliptic and parabolic tow
geometries have qualitatively the comparable equivalent pressure distributions.
