Optimization of elastic properties and weaving patterns of woven composites

Analysis of a two-way tension-shear coupling in woven fabrics under combined loading tests: Global to local transformation of non-orthogonal normalized forces and displacements

“…As another potential future work direction, it is worth adding that the significance of coupling factor in meso-level is dependent of the weave architecture and geometrical parameters such as yarn width and spacing. Hence, some sensitivity analyses on the effect of these parameters on the coupling factor can be performed, similar to [45,46]. A deeper understanding of the effect of coupling in predicting the shape and size of wrinkles (e.g.…”

Shear behavior of a shear thickening fluid-impregnated aramid fabrics at high shear rate

“…Thus, many studies have focused on improving the fiber properties, in particular stiffness and strength [13,14] and heat resistance [15]. On the other hand, the effect of fabric structure, including textile laminating and stitch pattern [16][17][18][19][20][21][22], weaving pattern (and resulting elastic properties) [23,24], and uncertainty of textile [25], on ballistic and stab resistance have been investigated to design the soft body armor. Although these endeavors have improved the bullet and stab resistance of soft body armor, further improvement is still needed.…”

An analytical approach to the deflection analysis of woven preforms and composites under tensile loading using the Winkler theory of curved beams

“…The recent literature is well covered with studies related to applications, fabrications and numerical analyses of woven composites using finite element methods; see, e.g., [1,3,4,5,7,15,16]. A smaller portion of the earlier works has been dedicated to the analytical solutions on woven composites for predicting their elastic deformation, stiffness, strength and even buckling behavior (e.g., [9,17,18]).…”
