Abstract
This paper discusses on the stiffness and failure behaviour
modelling of textile-reinforced composites (TRC). Different
numerical and semianalytical approaches, based on a
multilevel geometrical meshing which allows considering
mechanical phenomena encountered at the filament, the yarn
and the unit cell levels, are developed. The cases of a 2D
woven and a 3D interlock braided composites are studied and
their homogenised stiffness properties are compared to
solutions provided by finite elements method (FEM) and the
fabric geometry model (FGM). The modelled failure of both
the 3D and 3D TRC are compared to experimental data.
