Meso-FE modelling of textile composites: Road map, data flow and algorithms
Stepan Vladimirovitch Lomov,Dmitry Ivanov,Ignace Verpoest,Masaru Zako,Tetsusel Kurashiki,Hiroaki Nakai,Satoru Hirosawa +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the meso-scale finite element (FE) modeling of textile composites is considered as a powerful tool for homogenisation of mechanical properties, study of stress-strain fields inside the unit cell, determination of damage initiation conditions and sites and simulation of damage development and associated deterioration of the homogenised mechanical properties of the composite.

Generation of 3D representative volume elements for heterogeneous materials: a review
Swantje Bargmann,Benjamin Klusemann,Benjamin Klusemann,Jürgen Markmann,Jürgen Markmann,Jan Eike Schnabel,Konrad Schneider,Celal Soyarslan,Jana Wilmers +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a systematic classification of representative volume element (RVE) generation techniques for heterogeneous materials, and divide heterogeneous solids into porous and non-porous media.
Dissertation
Geometric and mechanical modelling of textiles
TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-scale modeling approach was employed to predict textile fabrics at the microscopic, mesoscopic and macroscopic scales, and the numerical model was extended to the mesoscopic scale where the shear of a plain woven fabric consisting of low filament count yarns was modelled.

Mechanical modelling of 3D woven composites considering realistic unit cell geometry
TL;DR: In this article, the voxel method and a continuum damage model are used in a finite element analysis to compute stress-strain curves for an orthogonal 3D woven composite under tensile loading.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanics of textile composites: Micro-geometry
TL;DR: In this article, an improved contact-element formulation is developed to overcome the problem of efficiency in full-scale fiber-based digital element analysis, and a static relaxation algorithm to determine fabric micro-geometry is established to replace step-by-step textile process simulation.

39—The Fitting of Woven Cloth to Surfaces
C. Mack,H. M. Taylor +1 more
TL;DR: The possible configurations adopted by woven cloth when fitted to various surfaces are discussed in this article, where a general type of fitting (involving two parameters) to surfaces of revolution is given together with some photographic illustrations.

Digital-element simulation of textile processes
Youqi Wang,Xuekun Sun +1 more
TL;DR: A digital-element model developed to simulate textile processes and determine the micro-geometry of textile fabrics is established, which is advantageous for other textile processes, such as twisting, weaving and knitting and for the investigation of textile preform deformation during the consolidation process.

RETRACTED: On the microstructure of three-dimensional braided preforms
TL;DR: In this paper, a study of the microstructure of 3D braided preforms produced by the four-step 1 x 1 method is described, where an analytical approach is employed in conjunction with experimental investigation to establish the relationship between the braid structure and braiding parameters.
