Abstract
Effects of fiber tow phase angle of the adjacent layers on the enginee ring properties of plain weave textile composites were studied. Unit c ell analyses were performed for two-layer unit cell models with differ ent fiber tow phase angles, and multi-field macroelements were used to reduce computer resource requirements. Results indicated that the eng ineering properties of plain weave textile composites can vary signifi cantly according to the manner in which the layers are stacked. (C) 19 97 Elsevier Science Ltd.
