Review of Analysis Model on Three-Dimensional Braided Composites

Abstract:

Because reinforced-fiber has characteristic of single step forming in three-dimensional braided composites, analysis of mechanical performance is very different from laminates. This paper proceeds from the micro-structure of 3-D braided composites, some review and research are presented detailedly, and the several model’s merit and demerit are analyzed, which can conduct dynamicists to choose reasonable numerical model. The mechanical performance can be predicted accurately, and the next research can be guided using above analysis.
