“…Good numerical and analytical prediction techniques suitable for braided textile composites are yet to be developed to attend to the needs of practical applications [7][8][9]. Numerical and analytical models for different structures, including braided tubes [10], surface-core braided structures [11], 2D and 3D braided composites [12][13], and for different loading conditions, e.g., tension [14], compression [15], crush [16], etc., have been reported so far. However, relevant models for braided composites are still relatively limited.…”
