The increase in the number of structural applications of composite materials, especially in
the aerospace and automotive industries, has led to a demand for robust models to simulate …

During the dra** of dry textile reinforcements, the high tensile stiffness of fibers and the
possible slippage between them significantly modify the transverse shear deformation …

This chapter details a comprehensive study of the deformability and formability of a 3D
orthogonal interlock woven composite reinforcement. Different deformation modes of the 3D …

In recent years, 3D interlock woven fabrics have received a lot of attention as a reinforcing
material in composite materials. The reduced risk of delamination and easier and cheaper …

In the textile composite drape process, the material bending behavior plays a critical role in
the onset and development of wrinkles. The bending moment is linked with the membrane …
