Hi,
I am trying to predict elastic constants for orthotropic textile composites made with plain and twill weave. I am wondering if I can use MESOTEX to predict elastic constants for my laminates, which will be made from dry fabrics through VARTM. In the articles on MESOTEX, authors have mentioned impregnated yarns and their properties.
Thanks
Give me please biblio data of the articles on MESOTEX then I will suggest how to calculate the elastic constants. In principles one has to define complete set of basic deformations by which the energy of deformation can be expressed as a functional of the selected member of this set. Then the looked for elastic constants will appear as a coefficient (multiplayer) of considered functional.
You can try SwiftComp, a general purpose multiscale constitutive modeling code. All you need is to provide the mesh to the code. The code can be launched in the cloud at https://cdmhub.org/resources/scstandard. Or used as a plugin for other FEA codes such as anasys or abaqus to power traditional FEA codes with high-fidelity composite modeling capability.
