Simulative Prediction of Fiber-Matrix Separation in Rib Filling During Compression Molding Using a Direct Fiber Simulation

Compression molding of long fiber reinforced composites offers specific advantages in automotive applications due to the high strength to weight ratio, the comparably low tooling costs and short cycle times. However, the manufacturing process of long fiber composite parts presents a range of challen...
