Multi-scale approach-based studies on the damage-healing and fracture behavior of plain woven textile composite

A study on the fracture and damage-healing behavior of plain woven textile composite (PWTC) is performed in the present work. The primary objective is to conduct 2D progressive failure analysis (PFA) under static in-plane loading conditions, progressive damage-healing analysis for different cyclic strain histories, and experimental fracture studies of PWTC material. A chain of equivalent cross-ply laminates (ECPL) consisting of warp and fill...
