3D woven composites are becoming increasingly popular for use in structural applications. For effective use in design, predictive analysis tools are required to estimate stiffness and strength. The Domain Superposition Technique (DST) has been developed to allow prediction of 3D woven mechanical properties using models of reduced size compared to standard finite element analysis. This allows geometries of greater size than standard unit cell dimensions to be analysed. In particular, methods for including failure mechanisms in the analysis have been developed, thus allowing predictions of strength for structural features manufactured from 3D woven composites to be performed.
