The thesis aims to simulate composite molds manufacturing, by curing of prepregs used for LCM processes. We also present solutions for predicting the effects of machining. Numerical simulation of curing involves solving thermo-mechanical problems, together with a trepresentation of the thermo-physico chemical cross-linking resation of the resin. A macroscopic weakly coupled thermo-physico mechanical approach is employed in the three-dimensional numerical model, which is validated by numerical/experiemental comparison on the anhular variation of L-shaped part, from two kinds of composite materials : T300/914 and Hextool. The second part of the work deals the simulation of composite materialsmachining. Numerical simulation of the machining is based on modeling of material removal process and internal stresses redistribution. The machining is modelled as a thermo-mechanical problem using a hybrid model. The mechanisms involved in machining are converted into equivalent thermo-mechanical loadings which are determined experimentally, and then applied to the finished surface of the workpiece. The simulation led to the calculation of the corresponding distorsions. The machining simulation requires preciseknowledge of the residual stresses and the deformed shape induced by curing process. The simulated residual distortions are faced to experimental measurements after machining. The simulations are performed using the Sysply® finite element software, issued by ESI-GROUP.
