Process and constitutive models as well as characterization tools and testing methods were developed to determine stress-strain responses, damage development, strengths and creep of long-fiber thermoplastics (LFTs). The developed models were implemented in Moldflow and ABAQUS and have been validated against LFT data obtained experimentally.
