Modelling framework for optimum multiaxial 3D woven textile composites

The application of 3D weaves has advantages over conventional uni-directional or 2D woven lay-ups. There is potential to produce near net-shaped preforms and to increase damage resistance due to the presence of through thickness reinforcement. Conventional 3D weaves typically consist of orthogonal y...
