SUMMARY OF AVAILABLE CODES
8-9
Comparisons to measured elastic properties, nonlinear response, and strength data
are tabulated in the documentation. Parametric trends for strength with respect to
braid angle, crimp angle, yarn spacing, and volume fraction are presented with
available data.
Comments:
TEXCAD is well documented and easy to use. It is a thorough implementation of
the isostrain approach. It performs failure analysis as well as can be expected in the
context of an isostrain model. The parametric input for geometry is logical, using
data that are typically available when designing with textiles.
