Abstract
This paper describes a methodology for predicting the elastic properties of three- dimensional textile structural composites. A "Fiber Inclination Model" is established, which treats the unit cell of a composite as an assemblage of inclined unidirectional laminae. The analysis is based upon the classical laminated plate theory. The effective in-plane elastic properties are derived; comparisons between theoretical predictions and experimental data are also presented.Keywords
