Abstract

A method for predicting the elastic properties of textile-reinforced composites is presented with applications. The method is a modification of a Fabric Geometry Model (FGM) [1–3] that relates fiber architecture and material properties of textile-reinforced composites to its global stiffness matrix through micromechanics and stiffness averaging technique. The FGM, although proven to be a quick and successful method [4], suffers two major drawbacks:
