A Methodology to Obtain the Accurate RVEs by a Multiscale Numerical Simulation of the 3D Braiding Process

To accurately evaluate the mechanical performance of three-dimensional (3D) braiding composites, it is essential to consider the braiding process and generate realistic representative volume element (RVE) structures. An efficient simulation methodology based on truss elements was used to simulate th...
