Broadband Electromagnetic Modeling of Woven Fabric Composites

The Electromagnetic and Mechanical Properties of Structural Composites: A Theoretical and Experimental Design Study

“…The objectives of the model are: (1) to create an EM model that accurately predicts the electromagnetic response of a woven fabric composite over a broad range of frequencies (DC-50 GHz) wfiere effective media theory becomes invalid, (2) to create an EM model that can be applied directly to a wide variety of fabric and resin types and weave architectures, and (3) to create a model that is computationally efficient and can be integrated subsequently into an iterative design algorithm.…”

Integration of RF transmission lines in carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) structures

“…Several groups have been working on characterization of composite materials [7,[12][13][14]. For this study the properties of Cytec IM7/977-3 aerospace-grade prepreg tape has been used.…”

Effective Electromagnetic Properties of Woven Fiber Composites for Shielding Applications

“…At the mesoscopic scale, which is that of the woven fabric, numerical methods are used either to compute the effective properties directly, or through EM parameters that are closely related to them, such as the transmission and reflection coefficients. More concretely, computational methods like rigorous coupled wave analysis [11] and full wave expansion [12] are not well suited for electrically conductive materials. On the other hand, methods like FDTD [13], [14] can be used to model woven carbon fiber reinforced polymers by assuming a perfect conductor medium, or also to model thin composite panels.…”
