Advanced Structural Textile Composites Forming

Peng Wang is a Professor of mechanical engineering at ENSISA of the University of Haute-Alsace, France. His primary research interests and expertise encompass textile composites forming, mechanical properties of textile reinforcements and composites, structure optimization, and process simulation. He particularly focuses on optimizing the manufacturing process and improving the service performance of composites by thoroughly studying the deformation behavior during the forming process of fiber-reinforced preforms. 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.
