Numerical simulation of forming processes has become an important means for material selection, tool design, and process optimization. A critical component of simulation is an accurate material constitutive model, describing the response of the material under possible modes of deformation. The accuracy, in turn, is linked to the tests and techniques applied for the identification of constitutive models. This book elaborates on the identification of textile composite models using a new inverse method by means of a signal-to-noise weighting scheme, and two constitutive equations based on a...
