Nahiène Hamila is a Professor at the Dupuy De Lome Research Institute, Brittany, France. His research work focuses on modelling and simulation of composite material, and to this end he has developed constitute model models for dry or prepreg composite reinforcements in a multiphysics and multi-scale framework. The specificity of his work lies in the link he establishes between the manufacturing process and the properties induced on the behavior of structural parts and their durability.
Describes and analyzes the influence of fiber/fabric architectures and properties on composites forming, their subsequent deformability, and their structural optimization
Advanced Structural Textile Composites Forming: Characterization, Modeling, and Simulation comprehensively describes the influence of fiber/fabric architectures and properties on composites forming, along with their deformability and structural optimization, covering the latest advances in the composites forming field. Part one reviews textile reinforcement architectures and discusses the forming behaviors of important 2D and 3D fabrics. Part two discusses numerical models to conduct simulation analysis of different structural composites forming at mesoscopic and macroscopic scales, in particular, 3D preforms with through-the-thickness yarns.
Part three looks at the latest developments in the relationship between forming and other steps in composite manufacturing, such as resin injection, and automated fiber placement (AFP) and the effects on certain mechanical properties, such as structural damage and impact resistance. The book will be an essential reference for academic researchers, industrial engineers and materials scientists working with the manufacture and design of fiber-reinforced composite materials.

Part three looks at the latest developments in the relationship between forming and other steps in composite manufacturing, such as resin injection, and automated fibre placement (AFP) and the effects on certain mechanical properties, such as structural damage and impact resistance. The international team of experts assembled shows how the structure and mechanics of different textile reinforcements affect the forming of textile composites and their relationship to the mechanical properties of the final composite part. The book will be an essential reference for academic researchers, industrial engineers and materials scientists working with the manufacture and design of fibre-reinforced composite materials.
