Advanced geometry modelling of 3D woven reinforcements in polymer composites: processing and performance analysis

Numerical methods have become increasingly effective tools for analysis and design of composite materials. This study investigates how the inclusion of geometrical variations in modelling 3D woven fabrics affects the accuracy of numerical predictions. Based on micro-Computed Tomography data of 3D or...
