Abstract
This paper investigates the mechanical behaviors of thermoplastic woven prepregs via testing and forming experiments. Glass twill fabric/polypropylene prepregs are produced by chemical treatment on fabric surface and a hot pressure molding approach. Then, mechanical tests including uniaxial tensile and bias extension of the glass twill fabric and its prepregs are carried out to provide basic data set for material modelling. An anisotropic hyperelastic model based on strain energy decomposition is proposed. And its material parameters are obtained by fitting these experimental data. Hemispherical thermo-stamping experiments are implemented for model verification. Very good agreements between forming simulation results and experimental data including boundary profiles, local shear angles, and forming force magnitude are obtained. The present work provides a complete data set for the model development and verification of thermoplastic woven fabric prepregs.
