“…In addition, the shear modulus and the in-plane Poisson's ratio increase with an increase in braid angle with a maximum peak at ±45 • [19]. The transverse moduli, strength, and dimensional stability of braided composites arise from helical fibres and the damage tolerance results from the locking mechanism between the intertwined fibres of the braid architecture that helps in preventing or limiting the yarn delamination [2].…”

“…Several studies have drawn the attention on the advantages of braiding in terms of structural integrity, design flexibility, damage tolerance, repair ability and low manufacturing cost [2]. Complex shapes can be easily produced while the performance can be controlled through the regulation of the braid, crimp angle and other geometrical characteristics.…”

Numerical and Experimental Investigation of the Hydrostatic Performance of Fibre Reinforced Tubes

The increasing demands in subsea industry such as oil and gas, led to a rapidly growing need for the use of advanced, high performance, lightweight materials such as composite materials. E-glass fibre laminated pre-preg, filament wound and braided tubes were tested to destruction under hydrostatic external pressure in order to study their buckling and crushing behaviour. Different fibre architectures and wind angles were tested at a range of wall thicknesses highlighting the advantage that hoop reinforcement offers. The experimental results were compared with theoretical predictions obtained from classic laminate theory and finite element analysis (ABAQUS) based on the principal that the predominant failure mode was buckling. SEM analysis was further performed to investigate the resulting failure mechanisms, indicating that the failure mechanisms can be more complex with a variety of observed modes taking place such as fibre fracture, delamination and fibre-matrix interface failure.

“…In this work, when a flat panel was impacted by a soft projectile, the damage area on the braided panel was observed to be arrested and only slightly larger than the initial impact area, compared with a damage area on aluminum plates which extended to the panel boundaries as a result of dynamic crack propagation. A state-of-the-art review of the application of two dimensional braided composites in structural components has been conducted by Ayranci and Carey (2008).…”

“…As a result, braided textile composites enjoy higher fracture toughness, structural stability and better damage tolerance compared to pre-preg and laminated composites (Mouritz et al 1999). With their high stiffness-to-weight and strength-to-weight ratios, braided composites are attractive materials for aerospace and automotive components as well as sports protective equipment (Ayranci and Carey 2008).…”

Composites reinforced with woven or braided textiles exhibit high structural stability and excellent damage tolerance thanks to yarn interlacing. With their high stiffness-to-weight and strength-to-weight ratios, braided composites are attractive for aerospace and automotive components as well as sports protective equipment. In these potential applications, components are typically subjected to multi-directional static, impact and fatigue loadings. To enhance material analysis and design for such applications, understanding mechanical behaviour of braided composites and development of predictive capabilities becomes crucial. Significant progress has been made in recent years in development of new modelling techniques allowing elucidation of static and dynamic responses of braided composites. However, because of their unique interlacing geometric structure and complicated failure modes, prediction of damage initiation and its evolution in components is still a challenge. Therefore, a comprehensive literature analysis is presented in this work focused on a review of the state-of-the-art progressive damage analysis of braided composites with finite-element simulations. Recently models employed in the studies on mechanical behaviour, impact response and fatigue analyses of braided composites are presented systematically. This review highlights the importance, advantages and limitations of as-applied failure criteria and damage evolution laws for yarns and composite unit cells. In addition, this work provides a good reference for future research on FE simulations of braided composites.
