    Abstract

    In this study, hour-glass specimens made of a glass-fiber reinforced polypropylene composite with different fiber orientations were stamp formed in an open die. Strains on the surfaces of these specimens were recorded by a 3D photogrammetric measurement system. Specimens were cut into the designed shapes with two different fiber orientations [0°/90°and 45°/45°]. Based on the forming limit diagrams drawn for these material systems, it is found that change in fiber orientation induces change in deformation mode and different forming limit in strains.
