About
Jan-Philipp Fuhr is a researcher specializing in the manufacturing science of fiber-reinforced composites, with a primary focus on textile preforming and draping simulation. His work addresses a critical challenge in composite manufacturing: accurately predicting the deformation of dry non-crimp fabrics during complex forming processes. Fuhr’s major contribution lies in bridging the gap between macroscopic simulation models and real-world fiber architecture. His most cited paper (2016, 26 citations) provides an experimental comparison of a macroscopic draping simulation against actual fabric behavior on a complex geometry, validated using a novel robot-based optical measurement system. This work introduced a preliminary analytical process design approach that enabled the setup of a preforming test center, offering a systematic method for optimizing composite part production. By demonstrating how simulation can reliably predict fiber orientation and defects, Fuhr’s research directly supports the development of more efficient, cost-effective manufacturing processes for lightweight structures. His achievements highlight the importance of experimental validation in advancing composite forming technologies, making his work essential reading for researchers and engineers in composites manufacturing and process simulation.
