Finite Element Model Analysis of 3-D Angle-Interlock Woven Composite under Quasi-Static Tensile Loading

Article Preview

Abstract:

The tensile response of three-dimensional angle-interlock woven composite (3DAWC) under quasi-static loading was investigated in experimental and finite element model (FEM) analysis. The FEM analysis was based on micro-structure at yarn level and connected with commercial FEM software ABAQUS/Explicit (ver. 6.10) to calculate the tensile property under quasi-static loading. The experimental and FEM stress-strain results were compared. Good agreement proved that the FEM method based on micro-structure was reasonable and effective and could be used to design 3-D woven structural composite.
