Multi-scale characterization and modeling of shear-tension interaction in woven fabrics for composite forming and structural applications

Woven fiber-reinforced polymer composites have become superior materials of choice in advanced industries such as aerospace, energy and automotive. The low in-plane shear stiffness of woven fabrics provides them with high formability, and hence the characterization of this stiffness is of high impot...
