Abstract
This paper presents a high-fidelity mesoscopic triaxial woven fabric composites model with realistic contact surface morphology is designed parametrically from the contact region at the yarn interweaving position for avoiding volumetric interpenetration of the yarns. Additionally, the geometry of yarn-yarn contact is parametrically characterized. The geometrical features of the model are validated by the results extracted from micro-CT reconstruction. The introduction of experimental methodology for the direct observation of the actual contact surface morphology has validated the parametric characterization of the contact geometry. A Python script is developed to automate the addition of periodic boundary conditions and the accuracy of the elastic property prediction is evaluated experimentally. The results demonstrate that triaxial woven fabric composites modeling approach achieves fine mesoscale characterization and high elastic property prediction accuracy. The comparison results of two different contact surface morphology models highlight the significance of yarn-yarn contact morphology features in textile structure modeling.
期刊介绍:
The past few decades have seen outstanding advances in the use of composite materials in structural applications. There can be little doubt that, within engineering circles, composites have revolutionised traditional design concepts and made possible an unparalleled range of new and exciting possibilities as viable materials for construction. Composite Structures, an International Journal, disseminates knowledge between users, manufacturers, designers and researchers involved in structures or structural components manufactured using composite materials.
The journal publishes papers which contribute to knowledge in the use of composite materials in engineering structures. Papers deal with design, research and development studies, experimental investigations, theoretical analysis and fabrication techniques relevant to the application of composites in load-bearing components for assemblies, ranging from individual components such as plates and shells to complete composite structures.
