Parameterized meso-scale modeling and experimental study on the tensile damage evolution and strength of 3D five-directional braided composites

A parametric finite element model (FEM) of three-dimensional five-directional (3D5d) braided composites was established considering the yarn space contact relationship. By adopting reasonable damage criteria and boundary conditions, the damage behavior and mechanical properties of FEM under tensile...
