Influence of tows waviness and anisotropy on effective Mode I fracture toughness of triaxially woven fabric composites

Tows waviness and anisotropy effects on effective Mode I fracture toughness, KIC, of triaxially woven fabric (TWF) composite were numerically and experimentally investigated. 2D isotropic Kagome, wavy isotropic, and wavy anisotropic TWF were modeled for various relative densities, crack lengths, and...
