An FEM Analysis with Consideration of Random Void Defects for Predicting the Mechanical Properties of 3D Braided Composites
Random void defects have detrimental effect on the mechanical properties of 3D braided composites. A 3D FEM based on a periodic representative unit cell is developed to appraise the mechanical properties of 3D 4-directional braided composites containing the defects. Two basic types of void defects,...
