The focus of this paper is on the manufacture of textile composite beams and on the determination of their mechanical properties. This includes investigating the effects of fibre orientation on the mechanical properties of braided and woven textile composites. Composites were manufactured from nominally identical constituents and identical consolidation processes, leaving as the only variables, variations caused by the different fibre architecture of the preform. The repeatability and, hence, reliability of this approach is demonstrated. Results obtained show that fibre architecture affects composite strength and extensibility. Composites with woven preforms are practically linear up to catastrophic failure while composites with braided preforms exhibit non-linearity prior to failure. Also the mechanical properties of the textile composite beams were determined. Results show that by tailoring the braid angle and pick density of braided and woven composite performs, the mechanical properties of the composite beams can be controlled to suit end-use requirement.

This paper reports the development of natural cellulose technical fibers from soybean straw with properties similar to the natural cellulose fibers in current use. About 220 million tons of soybean straw available in the world every year could complement the byproducts of other major food crops as inexpensive, abundant and annually renewable sources for natural cellulose fibers. Using the agricultural byproducts as sources for fibers could help to address the concerns on the future price and availability of both the natural and synthetic fibers in current use and also help to add value to the food crops. A simple alkaline extraction was used to obtain technical fibers from soybean straw and the composition, structure and properties of the fibers was studied. Technical fibers obtained from soybean straw have high cellulose content (85%) but low% crystallinity (47%). The technical fibers have breaking tenacity (2.7 g/den) and breaking elongation (3.9%) higher than those of fibers obtained from wheat straw and sorghum stalk and leaves but lower than that of cotton. Overall, the structure and properties of the technical fibers obtained from soybean straw indicates that the fibers could be suitable for use in textile, composite and other industrial applications.

This article addresses the experimental investigation and modelling of the uneven fibre distribution inside yarns of a textile composite. The test data is given for the tri-axial carbon-fibre braid; a considerable irregularity is revealed for the fibre distribution along and across the yarns. The importance of this effect for the damage resistance is illustrated with a simple finite-element (FE) model. The geometrical modelling of the internal geometry is also discussed.

Three panels of 3D woven carbon fiber/RTM6 epoxy composites with a ply-to-ply weave with 12x12 (warp/weft) picks per inch (ppi), 10x12 ppi, and 10x8 ppi were fabricated by resin transfer molding. Realistic finite element models of each weave architecture were constructed using Dynamic Fabric Mechanics Analyzer. The resin properties were isotropic and linear elastic and dependent on temperature. The resin- infiltrated fiber tow properties were estimated using homogenization based on Hashin and Shapery formulas. The model was considered to be at zero stress at the 165?C curing temperature. The stresses resulting from cooling the composite to 25?C were estimated using the resin temperature-dependent properties and the temperature independent properties of the tows. The displacement fields resulting from holes drilled through the middle of the top warp or weft yarn were estimated by virtually drilling a hole in the finite element model and were measured on the specimens using electronic speckle pattern interferometry. In general, the measured displacements transverse to the yarn were lower than the predicted displacements. This suggests the resin in the infiltrated yarns relieves some of the stress by permanently deforming during cooling. The measured displacements along the yarn were approximately the same for the 12x12 ppi,, lower for the 10x12 ppi, and significantly higher for the 10x8 ppi

An independent mesh method (IMM) for three-dimensional stress analysis in composites with complex fiber architectures is proposed. The method represents a combination of direct meshing and voxel-based methodology and allows the modeling of complex tow geometries not readily amenable to traditional finite element meshing. Each fiber tow is meshed independently, while the matrix is meshed throughout the volume of interest.
