Progressive failure simulations have been performed for orthogonal 3D woven composites consisting of RTM6 resin matrix and AS4 carbon fibers. The Multiscale Recursive Micromechanics approach has been used, which, while being computationally efficient, captures the primary effects of the microstructure at each considered length scale. This approach also enables use of any micromechanics theory at any length scale, and herein, the fidelity of the chosen theories across the scales has been tailored to strike a balance with computational efficiency. The Mori-Tanaka method is employed at the lowest length scale, the Generalized Method of Cells is used at intermediate scales, and the High-Fidelity Generalized Method of Cells is used at the highest woven composite repeating unit cell scale. Furthermore, two different damage models, also with different levels of fidelity and efficiency, have been used for the resin material at the lowest length scale. Results for the mechanical behavior in response to loading in various directions are compared for the two damage models and with available test data.

Textile composites have increasingly been used as a structural material because of their balanced properties, higher impact resistance, and easier handling and fabrication compared with unidirectional composites. However, the complex architecture of textile composites leads to difficulties in predicting the response in spite of the fact that there is the need to determine mechanical properties in product design. Micromechanical analysis, using the Finite Element Method, was conducted in order to evaluate the effective mechanical properties of plain woven and 3D woven composites. In this study, numerical models of unit cells were used and it is shown that the predicted values of homogenized mechanical properties using the developed procedure were in good agreement with experimental results.
