A thorough understanding of 2D braided composites elastic behavior is necessary for stiffness critical applications. This article outlines the effects of radius of curvature of a unit cell on 2D braided tubular composites’ elastic constants via a sensitivity study. The proposed model is verified using literature and experimental results. The proposed model is first compared to an existing flat unit cell model by setting the radius of curvature to near infinity; elastic constants are in very good agreement. Finally, very good agreement between the experimental and predicted results is observed.
