Hi,
I'm looking for data to model a woven fabric as a solid in Patran (Marc solver). I think I have to model the material as orthotropic 3d, therefore I need a data such as Young's modules (E11 E22 E33), Poisson's ratios (V12, V23, V31), Kirchhoff's modules (G12, G23, G31). The fabric that I have to model is: cotton, viscose rayon, polyamide, polyester, aramid or glass fiber (they may also be others with similar characteristics or combinations of them). I found in the Internet these data for composites containing this materials (eg glass fiber reinforced polyester resin) but I need properies only for woven fabric. Can someone write elastic constants for any of these woven fabrics here?
Maybe there is another way to model a woven fabric as a solid in Patran?
