Mesoscopic finite element modelling of non-crimp fabrics for drape and failure analyses

To date, macroscopic analysis methods have been invariably used to analyse textile composite structures for forming and mechanical performance. Techniques such as geometric ‘mapping’ for the draping of textile fabrics and classical laminate analysis combined with simplified failure criteria to deter...
