Capabilities and limitations of pure-shear based macroscopic forming simulations for 0{\textdegree}/90{\textdegree} biaxial non-crimp fabrics

Macroscopic modeling of a non-crimp fabric's (NCF's) forming behavior is challenging as it strongly depends on the textile architecture, fiber type, and stitching type. While shear…
