Abstract

Composite materials and their related manufacturing processes involve many modeling and simulation issues, mainly related to their multi-physics and multi-scale nature, to the strong couplings and the complex geometries. In our former works we developed a new paradigm for addressing the solution of such complex models, the so-called Proper Generalized Decomposition based model order reduction. In this work we are summarizing the most outstanding capabilities of such methodology and then all these capabilities will be put together for addressing efficiently the simulation of a challenging composites manufacturing process, the automated tape placement.
