Advances in Material Forming

Abstract

The strong development of composite materials in particular in aeronautics leads to a demand for knowledge and simulation codes concerning composites forming. The mini-symposia developed on this theme within the ESAFORM conference are a privileged framework for the researchers in this field to communicate and to exchange ideas. This paper gives a progress report on the advancements achieved during these ten last years and on the research prospects in the various fields of composite material forming.
