Abstract

The precision of mesoscale simulation for three-dimensional woven composites (3DWCs) is intricately linked to the fidelity of the geometric representation. This paper aims to present a novel parametric modeling approach for generating representative volume element (RVE) of the 3DWCs while considering its realistic meso-structural characteristics. The real architecture of 3DWCs is defined to consider the squeezed surface warp tow. Tow geometry is specified, accounting for torsion of tow cross-section and crimp of weft tow path. The RVEs of the composites are geometrically assembled via a specific translational symmetry. The tensile response of the composites with the novel geometry is scrutinized utilizing a progressive damage model, compared with that of the ideal geometry. Additionally, the impact of weft tow size on the tensile response of the composites is explored.
