Evaluation of Elastic Properties of Satin Composites

Abstract:

Advancements in the numerical modelling of 3D woven composites have allowed improved understanding of the mechanical behaviour and in turn aided the design and analysis of new materials. The objectives of this paper are to utilise FEA (Finite Element Analysis) methods to determine the elastic properties of a given woven composite. The investigation focuses on satin weaves, considering both 5-harness and 8-harness varieties. Multi-scale analysis results of an RVE are used to formulate the stiffness matrix and consequently determine the elastic properties; these will be compared to published analytical methods and experimental results. Further investigations considering the effect of weave parameters on the elastic properties are conducted.
