Thermo-stamping is critical for the structural application of two-dimensional (2D) woven fabric reinforced thermoplastics (WFRTPs). Reliable simulation models for thermo-stamping of 2D WFRTPs can effectively reduce the time and tooling cost caused by trial-and-error development, and thus are crucial for mature manufacturing. This article presents a survey of the literature on the characterization and simulation for thermo-stamping of WFRTPs......
