    Abstract A multi-scale model exhibiting progressive damage is considered for a 3D-woven composite. It is based on the evolution of some fundamental damage modes in a representative volume element (RVE) of a composite's woven architecture. The overall response of a woven composite due to a variety of damage modes is computationally obtained through a transformation field analysis (TFA) that is capable of quantifying the effects of spatial distribution of micro stresses and strains on strength. Since the model is computationally intensive, its numerical requirements are to be understood before it can successfully be used in design More >
