Abstract

The present contribution introduces an efficient procedure for modeling of nonlinear response of woven composite tubes. It relies on numerical analysis of such a complex composite structure at two different scales (meso and micro-scales). Note that the two analysis steps at individual scales is currently performed independently in the sense that output from one is used as an input to the second. As suggested in the paper, an accurate geometrical description of the tube at both scales is then of paramount importance.
