Numerical analysis of woven fabric composites by mesh superposition method

In this study, numerical analysis of mechanical properties of textile composites was performed using GMCsFEM. Three-dimensional woven composites can suppress delamination, which is a major issue of CFRP, by weaving fiber bundles in the through-the-thickness direction. However, in finite element analysis of textile composites, the complex fiber shape causes a high cost of time required for element division and a high cost of calculation cost due...
