Modelling of the permeability of non-crimp fabrics for composites
B. Verleye, S.V. Lomov and D. Roose, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium
Abstract:
Non-crimp fabrics (NCFs) are mainly used as textile reinforcement for composite materials. The simulation of the production processes of these composite materials requires an accurate value for the permeability of the reinforcement used. Like other textiles, NCFs are porous media and have a permeability value in accordance with Darcy’s law. At the K. U. Leuven, a dedicated solver has been developed for the computation of the permeability of textiles. The complex geometry of textiles and the fine fluid channels makes the computation of the permeability a challenge. NCFs are different ...
