Experimental and computational composite textile reinforcement forming: A review

Preforming is an important step in the manufacturing of textile-reinforced composites with resin infusion processes. It is important to control the fiber orientation to avoid fiber misalignments and wrinkles, which would reduce the mechanical properties of the composite part. The objective of the present paper is to give an overview of the literature dedicated to the textile reinforcement forming process. Therefore, experimental tests for the...
