The complete prediction of the second order permeability tensor for a three dimensional multi-axial preform is critical if we are to model and design the manufacturing process for composites by considering resin flow through a multi-axial fiber structure. In this study, the in-plane and transverse permeabilities for a woven fabric were predicted numerically by the coupled flow model, which combines microscopic and macroscopic flows. The microscopic and macroscopic flows were calculated by using 3-D CVFEM(control volume finite element method) for micro and macro unit cells. To avoid a checkerboard pressure field and improve the efficiency of numerical computation, a new interpolation function for velocity is proposed on the basis of analytical solutions. The permeability of a plain woven fabric was measured by means of an unidirectional flow experiment and compared with the permeability calculated numerically. Reverse and simple stacking of plain woven fabrics were taken into account and the relationship between the permeability and the structures of the preform such as the fiber volume fraction and stacking order is identified. Unlike other studies, the current study was based on a more realistic three dimensional unit cell. It was observed that in-plane flow is more dominant than transverse flow within the woven perform, and the effect of the stacking order of a multi-layered preform was negligible.

This note is specifically concerned with cracks emanating from a quarter-spherical cavity on the edge in an elastic body (see Fig.1) by using finite element method. The numerical results show that the existence of the cavity has a shielding effect of the corner crack. In addition, it is found that the effect of boundaries parallel to the crack on the SIFs is obvious when.H/R≤3

Abstract Digital evaluation of touch-feel in textiles is useful to design fundamental functions of clothing. Here, it is necessary to design textiles for a detailed evaluation of the sensitivity in human’s feelings to consider the life-style creation in various aspects. Then, the objective of this paper is to propose a design method for plain-woven fabrics by touch-feel estimation considering the weaving process with the constitutive relations of yarn. Here, a diagram for control weaving is defined by the diameter of the yarn and displacement quantity of the weaving and the cramping by defining the theoretical thickness. For the effective design to consider various processes, unit-cell of plain-woven structures are fundamentally classified as open set models and closed set models. One of the unit-cell models in the finite element method (FEM) for the plain-woven structure is adopted because the adopted model can consider initial-stress distribution in the weaving process. For touch-feel estimation, an analysis model is constructed by warp, weft, and plungers that cramps the woven structure. A series of diagrams to compress with plungers is shown after constructing a plain-woven structure. As for analyzing the weaving process and the touch-feel estimation in one model, realization of the effective engineering is enabled. This procedure yields that the relationship between the displacement and simulation time suggests for consideration of initial-stress.

PurposeTensile property is one basic mechanics performance of the fabric. In general, not only the tensile values of the fabric are needed, but also the dynamic changing process under the tension is also needed. However, the dynamic tensile process cannot be included in the common testing methods by using the instruments after fabric weaving.Design/methodology/approachBy choosing the weft yarn and warp yarn in the fabric as the minimum modeling unit, 1:1 finite element model of the whole woven fabrics was built by using AutoCAD software according to the measured geometric parameters of the fabrics and mechanical parameters of yarns. Then, the fabric dynamic tensile process was simulated by using the ANSYS software. The stress–strain curve along the warp direction and shrinkage rate curve along the weft direction of the fabrics were simulated. Meanwhile, simulation results were verified by comparing to the testing results.FindingsIt is shown that there are four stages during the fabric tensile fracture process along the warp direction under the tension. The first stage is fabric elastic deformation. The second stage is fabric yield deformation, and the change rate of stress begins to slow down. The third stage is fiber breaking, and the change of stress fluctuates since the breaking time of the fibers is different. The fourth stage is fabric breaking.Originality/valueIn this paper, the dynamic tensile process of blended woven fabrics was studied by using finite element method. Although there are differences between the simulation results and experimental testing results, the overall tendency of simulation results is the same as the experimental testing results.
