Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) woven composites have found extensive applications in
various areas, owing to the high resistance of impact and delamination, great design ability …

X-ray computed tomography (XCT) combined with computer simulations have proved to be
an extremely powerful and versatile tool for material characterization in recent years. The …

The mechanical properties and damage behaviors of carbon/epoxy woven fabric composite
under in-plane tension and compression are studied at the meso-scale level through …

3D woven fibre preforms are used to produce composites with good mechanical properties
and low mass. 3D woven structures consist of straight weft yarns and crimped warp yarns …

An ad hoc methodology for voxel-based geometry reconstruction is proposed. The
reconstruction procedure outlined is fully automated and allows transforming explicit voxel …

It has been confirmed in several other studies is that the effect of yarn geometry variations on
composite properties is non-negligible. This work presented a parameterized and …

This paper mainly provides a thorough experimental investigation of tension-tension fatigue
(R= 0.1) failure mechanisms in 3D5D braided carbon/epoxy composites without/with yarn …

During the last few decades, industries such as aerospace and wind energy (among others)
have been remarkably influenced by the introduction of high-performance composites. One …

This paper proposes a statistical approach to generate the refine meso-scale representative
volume element of three-dimensional (3D) five-directional braided composites considering …

To balance the conflict between low cost and high quality of 3D woven composites (3DWC),
we develop a multi-objective optimization methodology. A multiscale process simulation …
