Abstract
According to the structural features of 3-D braided composites, the whole structure is divided into three types of sub-unit cells, these are the interior unit cell, the surface unit cell and the corner unit cell. Considering the bending of fiber bundle and the deformation of cross-section which are caused by the space fiber extrusion and twist together, the corresponding geometric analysis models for every type of sub-unit cell are established, and the engineering elastic constants of the 3-D braided composites are predicted. The results show that the calculated results well agree with the experimental results, and the effectiveness of the model is verified.
