Failure assessment of a woven E-glass/vinyl ester composite subjected to large deformation loading
Woven polymer-based composites exhibit highly non-linear behavior, which often results in very high strains to failure. A micromechanical model is developed to represent the large deformation kinematics of woven composites, and develop predictions for failure strain components in specific cases of m...
