Travail de fin d'études et stage[BR]- Travail de fin d'études : Contribution to the simulation of braiding process[BR]- Stage

Abstract

This work focuses on the study of circular braiding machines, particularly those of the radial type. In radial circular braiding machines, the carriers are oriented towards the center of the machine, allowing for a specific pattern of braiding as the machine operates. Conversely, in axial circular braiding machines, the carriers are aligned in the axial direction, perpendicular to the plane of the machine. The aim of this research is to enhance the simulation capabilities for these machines, enabling them to handle more complex mandrel geometries effectively. This improvement will facilitate more accurate predictions of the braiding process and the resulting braid angles, which are critical for manufacturing high-performance composite materials.
