Manufacturing and Property Analysis of a Novel Class of 3-D Woven Composites

S. P. Yushanov, A.E. Bogdanovich and M.H. Mohamed

ABSTRACT

Structural and elastic properties of a novel class of 3-D woven orthogonally reinforced composites are studied. Comparative analysis of various theoretical approaches for elastic properties prediction of spatially reinforced composites is carried out. Theoretical predictions are compared with available experimental data. The effect of your local yarn waviness on the elastic response of 3-D woven composites is studied using developed novel probabilistic theory.
