Abstract

The numerical simulation of the forming of advanced materials is essential to allow the use of these materials in rapid manufacturing applications. This study uses commercial finite element analysis software and user-defined material properties to accurately simulate the forming of a fibre metal laminate based on a self-reinforced polypropylene composite. Verification of the simulation is achieved by comparison with experimental data obtained using an optical measurement system. Good agreement was found between the numerical results and the experimental data validating the material model used. Friction was identified as a major factor affecting the accuracy of the finite element simulation.
