| Summary | In order to model the behavior of woven composite materials, we adapted the models developed for unidirectional plies. The model used is non-linear with damage and residual strains. The behavior of woven plies in the longitudinal and transverse directions is elastic and brittle. We use only one damage variable to describe the loss of rigidity of the shear modulus. The residual strains concerned only shear strains. The identification of the model has been done on two tensile tests. A code which makes it possible to simulate the woven laminate behavior was developed. Tests of validation which compare numerical results and experimental results have shown the relevance of the model. |
