Abstract
This paper was study on design and simulation of deep drawing process for thermoplastic composite laminates by using finite element analysis. The objective of this research was to study the stacking order and fiber orientation effects influencing the deep drawing process, based on the basic understanding of forming process of the isotropic material (ALI 100). To simulate deep drawing, three dimensional finite element method incorporating a fiber orientation model of the Grilon RVZ-15H nylon/glass laminate is developed. Grilon RVZ-l 5H nylon/glass laminate specimen had a fiber orientation of [0/90]6, and [0/45/90/180]4 were analyzed. The effects of fiber orientation and stacking on the forming process were investigated by analyzing load-displacement relationship, change of thickness and stress strain distribution.
