Meso-scale modelling of 3D woven composite T-joints with weave variations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
A meso-scale modelling framework is proposed to simulate the 3D woven fibre architectures and the mechanical performance of the composite T-joints, subjected to quasi-static tensile pull-off loading. The proposed method starts with building the realistic
