A novel approach to investigate the effect of meso-scale yarn structure on the in-plane mechanical response of woven monofilament textiles by numerical modeling of experiments

摘要

The mechanical response of textiles depends upon various parameters including materials, yarn structure, and the architecture of the textile. These factors play an important role in the nonlinear mechanical response. In this work, a novel numerical modeling approach is proposed to better capture the effect of the meso-scale structure on the textile's mechanical response. Monofilament textiles exhibiting meso-scale irregularities due to the manufacturing are studied. A novel numerical method is developed to study these effects on the in-plane mechanical response. The in-plane experiments validated the proposed modeling approach. The results show the importance of the meso-scale structure induced by manufacturing.
