Abstract
This paper presents a methodology for strength consideration of 3D braided polymer composites under general static loading conditions. This methodology adopts the concept of the fabric geometry model and extends it to strength prediction by use of the theory of mechanics of materials. Iso-strain and iso-stress models are used to determine the strength of the 3D braided composites with various failure criteria. The predictions are compared with experimental results to determine which criterion is suitable for strength design. Comparison of the strength of 3D braided composites at the same level of fiber volume fraction but with various braiding angles is presented. (Author)
