Abstract
There is no native support for the modeling of woven fabric composites within Abaqus. A new approach has been implemented within Abaqus, which is shown to be robust and capable of modeling woven composites across a range of loading conditions. This approach predicted the bending modulus and displacement at failure of woven carbon-fiber composites under three-point bending within the standard deviation of experimental results. Under high-velocity impact loading, the critical perforation velocity of woven aramid panels was predicted to within 3% of the experimental results, while the back face deformation to within the experimental error.
