This research describes the development of a fully automated forming process of continuous FRP to assemble a down scaled battery tray for a plug-in-hybrid automobile. The paper presents the results of forming experiments ...

Today composite materials become increasingly more common to use for lightweight applications. This paper introduces a simulation approach for a handling and forming process. This process focusses on the robot based gripping, ...

This publication deals with finite element based modelling and the experimental validation of the flow characteristics of glass mat reinforced thermoplastic composite (GMT). Furthermore, the interaction of GMT and UD-Tape ...
