A Numerical Study on the Progressive Failure of 3D Four-Directional Braided Composites
The complexity of the microstructure makes the strength prediction and failure analysis of 3D braided composites difficult. A new unit cell geometrical model, taken as the representative volume element (RVE), is proposed to describe the yarn configuration of 3D braided composites produced by the fou...
