Modelling the geometry of textile reinforcements for composites: WiseTex
S.V. Lomov, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium
Abstract:
The WiseTex family of models and software provides a generic description of the internal geometry of textile reinforcements, covering a wide range of textile structures – woven (2D and 3D), braided, non-crimp fabric, knitted and stitched. The components of the WiseTex suite simulate properties of textile fabrics and composites on a unit cell level and are used for multilevel micro–meso–macro analysis. The chapter describes models of geometry and deformability of woven (2D and 3D), braided (bi-and triaxial) and non-crimp fabric (NCF) reinforcements, implemented in the WiseTex software package. The model ...
