title = "Forming simulations ofmulti-layered woven preformsassembled with stitchyarns",
abstract = "A model has been developed to predict the draping behaviour of thick fibre preforms with localised stitching, to analyse the forming behaviour of 3D components. Explicit finite element simulations have been performed for a hemisphere geometry to understand the influence of adding local stitch-bonds, which are used to join multiple 2D plies together for easier in-mould assembly. Stitch-bonded fibrous reinforcements are modelled as multi-layered 2D continua with additional 1D through-thickness fixations. Results demonstrate that stitch-bonds influence the global shear angle distribution in each ply of the component rather than having just a localised effect, with the most significant effects observed when placing stitches between plies of different orientations.",
