Abstract
A 2D modeling of textile composites is studied. The modeling is applicable to woven textile composites with flat fibers, used as reinforcing fibers of composite materials. Two 2D displacement fields are introduced, one for each layer of the fabric. The warp/weft interaction is taken into account by a nonlinear functional which characterizes the frictional contact. An explicit form of the warp/weft contact pressure is proposed. A numerical approximation of a solution of the variational problem is presented.
