Generic Geometric Model for 3D Woven Interlock Composites

Abstract:

The mechanical properties of 3D woven interlock composites (3DWIC) can be tailored via design of their weave architecture. This paper presents a geometric model called Generic Geometric Model (GG-Model) which delineates the weave architecture of 3DWIC based on its realistic internal geometry i.e. geometry of the cross-section and path of tows. In GG-Model, the cross-section of tows has been described through a novel shape function called “Generic Shape Function (GSF)”. The GG-Model uses manufacturer and weaver specified data to calculate geometric parameters of the 3DWIC and the reinforcing fabric. The GG-Model is then validated by comparing modeled parameters with experimental data. Strong correlation is found between modeled parameters and experimental data.
