Structural mechanics of woven preforms and textile composites

The present work deals with the development of comprehensive mechanical models to predict the mechanical properties of woven fabric structures, namely the tensile, bending and compression behaviour. All the models are based on the Rayleigh-Ritz energy method, which allows handling non-linear mechani...
