“…No criterion is universally accepted by designers as adequate under general loading conditions, since some of the adopted classical criteria are not capable to capture initiation of damage of braided composites effectively. Moreover, some failure modes such as fibre splitting, matrix cracking or interface failure are not presented adequately [26].…”

“…On the other hand, experimental studies were regarded as expensive and time-consuming. In addition, these studies did not have the capability to provide stress and strain distributions throughout braided patterns or fundamental information on damage models inside the braided composites (Miravete et al 2006;Littell et al 2009a, b;Xu et al 2015a). Thus, it became necessary to seek assistance of powerful computer-aided-design (CAD) and computer-aided-engineering (CAE) tools to clarify damage mechanisms of braided structures and to predict the ultimate strength of composites with such structures.…”

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.

“…The predictions were in a good agreement with experimental data. Miravete et al (2006 ) proposed an analytical meso-mechanical approach for predicting tensile modulus and strengths of TWF composites by considering the geometry, mechanical properties and the degradation of fiber and matrix. The new model was validated with numerical results and experimental data.…”

a b s t r a c tThis paper deals with new analytical solutions to predict tensile and in-plane shear strengths of triaxial weave fabric (TWF) composites accounting for the interaction between angularly interlacing yarns. The triaxial yarns in three directions of 0 °and ±60 °in micromechanical unit cell (UC) are idealized as the curved beams with a path depicted by using sinusoidal shape functions. The tensile and in-plane shear strengths of TWF composites are derived by means of the minimum total complementary potential energy principle founded on micromechanics. In order to validate the new model, the predictions are compared with experimental data in prior literatures. It is shown that the predictions from the new model agree well with experimental results.
