Abstract The compression response of 3D woven textile composites (3DWC) that consist of glass fiber tows and a polymer matrix material is studied using a combination of experiments and finite element based analyses. A previous study reported by the authors consisted of an experimental investigation of 3DWC under high strain rate loading, Pankow, Salvi, Waas, Yen, and Ghiorse (2011). Those experimental results were explained by using the finite element method to analyze the high rate deformation response of representative volume elements (RVEs) of the 3DWC, Pankow, Waas, Yen, and Ghiorse (2012). In this paper, the same modeling strategy is used to… More >
