Abstract

This paper deals with the modelling and development of computational schemes to simulate pultrusion processes. Two different computational methods, finite differences and elements, are properly developed and critically analyzed. The methods are applied to a model, implemented with suitable boundary conditions, proposed in this paper. Simulations, compared with experimental data available in the literature, show a good agreement between theory and experiments.
