This work takes a micromechanical approach to fabric tensile modeling. The entire uniaxial tensile stress-strain behavior of the fabric is modeled from the constitutive yarn properties (tensile, bending, flattening, and consolidation behavior) and the original fabric geometry. Techniques for measuring these yarn properties are described. In most cases, there is good agreement between the theoretical and experimental results for several fabrics of differing weave and yarn construction. Modified approaches are suggested for those cases where prediction of fabric stress-strain behavior deviates from the experimental data.

An experimental study have been performed to investigate the uniaxial tensile stress-strain response on the 3D angle interlock (3DAI) woven fabric composite. The tensile analysis were examined based on different woven fabric set-up parameter of draw-in plan ; pointed (DRW 1), broken (DRW 2), broken mirror (DRW 3), and straight (DRW 4). Meanwhile, the woven fabric composite were produced based on 22 and 25 pick.cm-1 of weft densities. The outcomes produced shown that woven composite sample with 25 pick.cm-1 on DRW 4 projected the highest stress response, 113 MPa. Extensive review indicated that DRW 1 and 4 gave better tensile stress-strain response than the other counterpart.

AbstractA two-dimensional micromechanical model based on the finite element method is presented to model two-phase ferritic/pearlitic steels, by aid of generalised plane strain elements. A periodic representative cell containing 100 ferrite grains, and the desired fraction pearlite is used. By applying periodic boundary conditions, loading by an average stress or strain state is possible.Uniaxial tensile tests were performed on specimens containing the ferrite and pearlite microstructures, and on two-phase materials containing 25% and 58% pearlite respectively. The stress-strain data of the pearlite material is used to fit a laminar dependent Taylor relation to represent the pearlite workhardening. Thereafter, laminar spacings in the two-phase materials are measured, and the total stress-strain response of the materials is modelled. Comparisons between generated data and experiments show good agreement up to a strain of 2%.

In order to investigate the effect of loading rate on the tensile performance, the uniaxial tensile experiments were conducted on universal testing machine under different loading rates (5 mm/min, 10mm/min, 50 mm/min, 100 mm/min and 150 mm/min), and a constant gage length equal to 200mm, resulting in loading strain rate of 4.17×10-4, 8.33×10-4/s, 4.17×10-3/s, 8.33×10-3/s,1.25×10-2/s, and the tensile stress-strain curves were obtained. The experimental results show that the tensile properties of the conveyor belt exhibit obvious rate-dependent behavior. In this paper, the rate sensitivity coefficient varied with loading rate, was calculated, and the nonlinear rate-dependent behavior was also investigated.

A method is presented for modeling the tensile behavior of multifilament twisted yarns. A filament assembly model and a computer-aided design/computer-aided engineering (CAD/CAE) approach are proposed for the tensile analysis. The geometry of the twisted yarn and the nonlinear filament properties were considered. The finite element method (FEM) and large deformation effects were applied for computation of the stress–extension curves. Ideal yarn structures of five layers with different twist angles were simulated to predict the tensile behavior of each filament and each layer. The stress acting on the filaments after yarn extension could be directly analyzed by the FEM. The stress distribution in the filaments showed that the highest stress regions were located at the filament in the center of the yarn and decreased slightly to the yarn surface. The stress–extensions of the filaments were converted to yarn tensile behavior that is shown in terms of the maximum and average stress–extension curves. The results of this prediction model were compared with the stress–strain curves of high-tenacity rayon yarn and the energy method. The maximum stress–extension curves showed very good agreement with experimental results and are more accurate than those obtained by previous methods.

In this paper, a discrete approach for the simulation of the preforming of dry woven reinforcement is proposed. A “unit cell” is built using elastic isotropic shells and axial connectors instead of bars and beams used in previous studies. Shell elements are used to take into account the in-plane shear stiffness and to manage contact phenomenon with the punch and die. Connectors reinforce the structure in the yarn directions and naturally capture the specific behavior of the fabric. To identify the material parameters, uniaxial tensile tests and bias tests have been employed. A numerical algorithm, coupling Matlab and Abaqus/Explicit, is used to determine the shear parameters by an inverse method. The model has been implemented in Abaqus to simulate hemispherical stamping. Experimental results are compared to numerical simulations, good agreement between both results is shown.

This paper presents a brief history of the evolution of the Central Electricity Generating Board’s (CEGB) R-6 failure assessment diagram (FAD) procedure used in assessing defects in structural components. The reader is taken from the original CEGB R-6 FAD strip yield model to the deformation plastic failure assessment diagram (DPFAD), which is dependent on Ramberg-Osgood (R-O) materials to general stress-strain curves. An extension of the DPFAD approach is given which allows the use of material stress-strain data which do not follow the R-O equation such as stainless steel or carbon manganese steel. The validity of the new approach coined piecewise failure assessment diagram (PWFAD) is demonstrated through comparisons with the J-integral responses (expressed in terms of failure assessment diagram curves) for several cracked configurations of non-R-O materials. The examples were taken from both finite element and experimental results. The comparisons with these test cases demonstrate the accuracy of PWFAD. The use of PWFAD requires the availability of deformation plasticity J-integral solutions for several values of the strain-hardening exponent as well as uniaxial tensile stress-strain data at the temperature of interest. Lacking this information, the original R-O DPFAD approach using known engineering yield and ultimate strengths would give the best available approximation. However, it is strongly recommended that actual uniaxial tensile stress-strain data be used when available.
