Abstract
Abstract When modelling deformations induced during the manufacture of composite components it is important to account for the effect which tool–part interaction has on final part shape. In the current work an existing numerical code was used to simulate the effect of tool–part interaction. A parametric study examining the effects of various model inputs on final part shape was performed and the results were compared to those of a companion experimental study. The results show that the both the tool–part interfacial shear stress distribution and the part in-plane stress distribution are critical for accurate modelling of this phenomenon.
