Mechanical behavior of fabric-reinforced elastomer straight flexible hoses

This paper presents a model applicable to large strain analysis of composite materials such as flexible hoses. A three-dimensional constitutive law, which uses the concept of convected coordinate frame, is developed for materials presenting non linear elastic and linear orthotropic behaviors in the...
