Abstract

This paper presents a calculation technique for transformable tooling adjustment variables in the process of Z-crimp shaping from polymer composite prepregs. Equations for determining the position of structural tooling elements prior to crimping are obtained based on the conditions of equilibrium in the process of interaction between transformable mandrels and a raw packed sheet. The relations that allow calculation of tooling adjustment variables are presented.
