Analysis of plain-weave composites

  • Published:
Mechanics of Composite Materials Aims and scope

The paper analyzes the mechanical properties of plain-weave composites by employing different micromechanical models. Their in-plane and flexural properties are estimated using analytical approaches, including the rule of mixtures and one-dimensional composite beam and two-dimensional mosaic models. The expressions of effective material properties are obtained for one-, two-, and three-ply woven composites. The results obtained are in agreement with published data.
