Analysis reveals fiber architecture parameters influence strength properties in triaxial braided composites, suggesting design optimization opportunities.
The effects of fiber architecture parameters such as yarn size, braid angle and axial yarn content on the strength properties of 2x2, 2D triaxial braided composites were analyzed using a previously developed Textile Composite Analysis for Design (TEXCAD) program. A practical procedure was developed using TEXCAD together with strength and axial yarn crimp data to determine in situ yarn critical stresses/strains as a function of yarn size and stress state. Parametric studies were performed using these critical yam stresses/strains with the TEXCAD analysis to investigate the effects of parameters such as braid angle and axial yarn content on composite strength and failure sequences under longitudinal and transverse tension, longitudinal compression, and inplane shear loading. The calculated trends for the ultimate strengths correlated well with available test data for 2D triaxial braided composites.
