title = "An investigation on the effect of aspect ratio variations on induced deformation modes of self-reinforced polypropylene composite at room temperature",
abstract = "A feasibility study of stretch forming has been investigated in this work on Woven Thermoplastic Composites. Formability characteristics during stamp forming in terms of principle strains were carried out through a Real Time Strain Measurement System. Composite samples with different aspect ratios were utilized to generate different forming modes by clamping in a custom built lock ring and formed to failure by a hemispherical punch. By employing various geometries, different strain states were induced in the sheets. The outcome of these experiments comprised a Forming Limit Diagram (FLD) which elucidated the safe deformation margins for self-reinforced polypropylene (All-PP) woven composites.",
