Abstract Novel textile reinforced composites provide
an extremely high adaptability and allow for the development
of materials whose features can be adjusted precisely
to certain applications. A successful structural and
material design process requires an integrated simulation
of the material behavior, the estimation of the effective
properties which need to be assigned to the macroscopic
model and the resulting features of the component.
In this context two efficient modelling strategies - the Binary
Model (Carter, Cox, and Fleck (1994)) and the Extended
Finite Element Method (X-FEM) (Moës, Cloirec,
Cartraud, and Remacle (2003)) - are used to… More >
