Abstract
The mechanical performance of fiber reinforced composite components strongly depends on the fiber orientation. In order to determine the performance of a part as-built, the deviation of the fiber orientation from the intended configuration (as-designed) is crucial. Within this study, a method to compare local fiber orientations in manufactured components with draping simulation results was developed for unidirectional (UD) carbon laminas. The developed algorithm was tested on a plane plate geometry and a 3D double sine geometry. The resulting fiber angle deviations showed that the method enables a robust way for comparing local fiber orientations of manufactured parts and simulation results.
