Abstract
3D textile reinforced composites have some advantages over common 2D composites due to their unique mechanical properties. In this research, five composite samples with different percentages of jute and high tenacity polyethylene terephthalate fibers in the form of three-dimensional orthogonal woven fabrics were designed by TexGen software in meso and macro scales, and their tensile, flexural, and impact behaviors were analyzed by the finite element method in Abaqus software. The results were in good agreement with the experimental results. The mean errors between experimental and numerical results were 11% for tensile strain, 9% for tensile strength, 8% for Young’s modulus, 9.8% for tensile toughness, 6% for elastic flexural energy, 5.7% for flexural modulus, and 19.8% for impact resistance.
