✏Multi Scale Continuum Mechanics Modelling of Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composites Book Summary : Multi-scale modelling of composites is a very relevant topic in composites science. This is illustrated by the numerous sessions in the recent European and International Conferences on Composite Materials, but also by the fast developments in multi-scale modelling software tools, developed by large industrial players such as Siemens (Virtual Material Characterization toolkit and MultiMechanics virtual testing software), MSC/e-Xstream (Digimat software), Simulia (micromechanics plug-in in Abaqus), HyperSizer (Multi-scale design of composites), Altair (Altair Multiscale Designer) This book is intended to be an ideal reference on the latest advances in multi-scale modelling of fibre-reinforced polymer composites, that is accessible for both (young) researchers and end users of modelling software. We target three main groups: This book aims at a complete introduction and overview of the state-of-the-art in multi-scale modelling of composites in three axes: • ranging from prediction of homogenized elastic properties to nonlinear material behaviour • ranging from geometrical models for random packing of unidirectional fibres over meso-scale geometries for textile composites to orientation tensors for short fibre composites • ranging from damage modelling of unidirectionally reinforced composites over textile composites to short fibre-reinforced composites The book covers the three most important scales in multi-scale modelling of composites: (i) micro-scale, (ii) meso-scale and (iii) macro-scale. The nano-scale and related atomistic and molecular modelling approaches are deliberately excluded, since the book wants to focus on continuum mechanics and there are already a lot of dedicated books about polymer nanocomposites. A strong focus is put on physics-based damage modelling, in the sense that the chapters devote attention to modelling the different damage mechanisms (matrix cracking, fibre/matrix debonding, delamination, fibre fracture,...) in such a way that the underlying physics of the initiation and growth of these damage modes is respected. The book also gives room to not only discuss the finite element based approaches for multi-scale modelling, but also much faster methods that are popular in industrial software, such as Mean Field Homogenization methods (based on Mori-Tanaka and Eshelby solutions) and variational methods (shear lag theory and more advanced theories). Since the book targets a wide audience, the focus is put on the most common numerical approaches that are used in multi-scale modelling. Very specialized numerical methods like peridynamics modelling, Material Point Method, eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM), isogeometric analysis, SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics),... are excluded. Outline of the book The book is divided in three large parts, well balanced with each a similar number of chapters:

✏Physico chemical Aspects of Textile Coloration Book Summary : The production of textile materials comprises a very large and complex global industry that utilises a diverse range of fibre types and creates a variety of textile products. As the great majority of such products are coloured, predominantly using aqueous dyeing processes, the coloration of textiles is a large-scale global business in which complex procedures are used to apply different types of dye to the various types of textile material. The development of such dyeing processes is the result of substantial research activity, undertaken over many decades, into the physico-chemical aspects of dye adsorption and the establishment of ‘dyeing theory’, which seeks to describe the mechanism by which dyes interact with textile fibres. Physico-Chemical Aspects of Textile Coloration provides a comprehensive treatment of the physical chemistry involved in the dyeing of the major types of natural, man-made and synthetic fibres with the principal types of dye. The book covers: fundamental aspects of the physical and chemical structure of both fibres and dyes, together with the structure and properties of water, in relation to dyeing; dyeing as an area of study as well as the terminology employed in dyeing technology and science; contemporary views of intermolecular forces and the nature of the interactions that can occur between dyes and fibres at a molecular level; fundamental principles involved in dyeing theory, as represented by the thermodynamics and kinetics of dye sorption; detailed accounts of the mechanism of dyeing that applies to cotton (and other cellulosic fibres), polyester, polyamide, wool, polyacrylonitrile and silk fibres; non-aqueous dyeing, as represented by the use of air, organic solvents and supercritical CO2 fluid as alternatives to water as application medium. The up-to-date text is supported by a large number of tables, figures and illustrations as well as footnotes and widespread use of references to published work. The book is essential reading for students, teachers, researchers and professionals involved in textile coloration.

✏Issues in the Analysis and Testing of Textile Composites with Large Representative Volume Elements Book Summary : The high degree of heterogeneity of textile composites was found to be the primary problem in analysis and testing. A concept was developed based on a description of the local variation of the material stiffness matrix using a spline interpolation. The role of this stiffness function is to facilitate the calculation of the material stiffness matrix at any given position or for arbitrary domains in the form of finite elements.Based on this approach, two different methods were developed. In the first method the average material stiffness matrix is calculated for a finite element and subsequently the elemental stiffness matrix of this element is assembled. In the second approach the elemental stiffness matrix is calculated directly using the local material stiffness at the integration points of the finite element. This concept was then applied to the plate twist test. The numerical analysis of this test was done in order to determine the influence of heterogeneity on the test results. It was shown that this test measures the in-plane shear modulus largely independent of the representative volume element (RVE) size. Both finite element approaches were then applied to the V-notched beam shear test, to investigate the applicability of this test to the measurement of the shear properties. The test set-up as well as numerical parameters of the finite element analysis of the test were studied. It was possible to derive limits for the applicability of the V-notched beam shear test in terms of RVE size, as well as set up guidelines for the finite element analysis of textile composites. With electronic speckle pattern interferometry, which enables full-field displacement and strain measurements, tensile tests were carried out on 3D-woven textile composite specimens. With the agreement of the experimental results and the theoretical predictions the validity of the developed approach was again shown.

✏Particle Based Geometric and Mechanical Modelling of Woven Technical Textiles and Reinforcements for Composites Book Summary : Technical textiles are increasingly being engineered and used in challenging applications, in areas such as safety, biomedical devices, architecture and others, where they must meet stringent demands including excellent and predictable load bearing capabilities. They also form the bases for one of the most widespread group of composite materials, fibre reinforced polymer-matrix composites (PMCs), which comprise materials made of stiff and strong fibres generally available in textile form and selected for their structural potential, combined with a polymer matrix that gives parts their shape. Manufacturing processes for PMCs and technical textiles, as well as parts and advanced textile structures must be engineered, ideally through simulation, and therefore diverse properties of the textiles, textile reinforcements and PMC materials must be available for predictive simulation. Knowing the detailed geometry of technical textiles is essential to predicting accurately the processing and performance properties of textiles and PMC parts. In turn, the geometry taken by a textile or a reinforcement textile is linked in an intricate manner to its constitutive behaviour. This thesis proposes, investigates and validates a general numerical tool for the integrated and comprehensive analysis of textile geometry and constitutive behaviour as required toward engineering applications featuring technical textiles and textile reinforcements. The tool shall be general with regards to the textiles modelled and the loading cases applied. Specifically, the work aims at fulfilling the following objectives: 1) developing and implementing dedicated simulation software for modelling textiles subjected to various load cases; 2) providing, through simulation, geometric descriptions for different textiles subjected to different load cases namely compaction, relaxation and shear; 3) predicting the constitutive behaviour of the textiles undergoing said load cases; 4) identifying parameters affecting the textile geometry and constitutive behaviour under evolving loading; 5) validating simulation results with experimental trials; and 6) demonstrating the applicability of the simulation procedure to textile reinforcements featuring large numbers of small fibres as used in PMCs. As a starting point, the effects of reinforcement configuration on the in-plane permeability of textile reinforcements, through-thickness thermal conductivity of PMCs and in-plane stiffness of unidirectional and bidirectional PMCs were quantified systematically and correlated with specific geometric parameters. Variability was quantified for each property at a constant fibre volume fraction. It was observed that variability differed strongly between properties; as such, the simulated behaviour can be related to variability levels seen in experimental measurements. The effects of the geometry of textile reinforcements on the aforementioned processing and performance properties of the textiles and PMCs made from these textiles was demonstrated and validated, but only for simple cases as thorough and credible geometric models were not available at the onset of this work. Outcomes of this work were published in a peer-reviewed journal [101]. Through this thesis it was demonstrated that predicting changes in textile geometry prior and during loading is feasible using the proposed particle-based modelling method. The particle-based modelling method relies on discrete mechanics and offers an alternative to more traditional methods based on continuum mechanics. Specifically it alleviates issues caused by large strains and management of intricate, evolving contact present in finite element simulations. The particle-based modelling method enables credible, intricate modelling of the geometry of textiles at the mesoscopic scale as well as faithful mechanical modelling under load. Changes to textile geometry and configuration due to the normal compaction pressure, stress relaxation, in-plane shear and other types of loads were successfully predicted. During simulation, particles were moved randomly until a stable state of minimum strain energy in the system was reached; as particles moved upon iteration, the configuration of fibres in the textile changed under constant boundary conditions. Then boundary conditions were altered corresponding to strains imposed on the textile, and the system was iterated again towards a new state of minimum strain energy. The Metropolis algorithm of the Monte Carlo method was adopted in this specific implementation. The method relies on a statistical approach implemented in computational algorithms. In addition to geometrical modelling, the proposed particle-based modelling method enables the prediction of major elements of the constitutive behaviour of textiles and textile reinforcements. In fact, prediction of the constitutive behaviour is integral to the prediction of the meso-scale geometry. Simulation results obtained from the proposed particle-based modelling method were validated experimentally for yarns, single-layer textiles and multi-layer textiles undergoing compaction. Validation work showed that the particle-based modelling method replicates reality very faithfully, and it also showed the suitability of including Gutowski's function along with Hertz' function for representing lateral compaction of yarns. The procedure and results were accepted in final form for publication in a peer reviewed journal [104]. The capability of the proposed particle-based modelling method towards replicating the time-dependent relaxation and reconfiguration of woven textiles subjected to compaction loading was investigated. The capability, which was demonstrated for single and double-layers of plain woven textiles, is intrinsic to the modelling method. The method is unique in the fact that in contrary to work previously reported in the literature, it models the compaction and the relaxation seamlessly in the same simulations and environment. This work is being finalised towards submission for publication in a peer reviewed journal [103]. The proposed particle-based modelling method was also used for modelling in-plane shear in woven textiles. Simulation results were validated experimentally for a single-layer plain woven textile. Validation work showed that the particle-based modelling method reproduces experimental data and published trends very well. A novel algorithm for modelling friction was introduced, leading to results being obtained from a significantly less computationally demanding procedure in these simulations. This work was submitted for publication in a peer reviewed journal [102]. Finally the thesis discusses early work towards the application of the method to carbon fibre fabrics through the description of expansion algorithm (EA) to be used in modelling textiles made of yarns featuring very large numbers of fibres. Furthermore, additional modelling work is presented towards further manufacturing process involving technical textiles, namely textile bending and punching. The latter part is presented as early steps towards future work.

✏Moisture Transmission Through Textile Fabrics Book Summary : Moisture transmission behaviour of clothing plays an important role in determining thermophysiological clothing comfort. Prediction of moisture transmission properties of textile materials is very useful to characterize the clothing comfort and it also helps to design the fabric as per the specific requirements. Prediction of moisture transmission behaviour of textile material is highly complex due to the interactive effects of various fibre, yarn and fabric parameters. The present book deals with the theoretical and experimental work to establish the relationship between different fibre and yarn parameters with vapour and liquid moisture transmission characteristics of woven fabrics. Work has been carried out to understand the effect of different fibre and yarn parameters and their interactive effects on vapour as well as liquid moisture transmission properties of fabric. Based on the understanding from the experimental analysis, various influencing parameters of yarn and fabric have been included in the development of the theoretical models to predict the vertical wicking behaviour of yarn and fabrics.

✏Analytical and Numerical Prediction of the Bending Behaviour of Textile Reinforced Concrete Sandwich Beams Book Summary : Abstract: This paper concerns the investigation of the behaviour of sandwich beams previously tested in four point bending through analytical and numerical models. Modelling is a fundamental resource to predict the mechanical response of the element and to investigate the mechanisms that act during the evolution of the test. The sandwich beams here taken into account are characterised by external textile reinforced concrete (TRC) layers and an insulation material (expanded polystyrene, EPS) able to transfer shear stresses. Bond between the layers is obtained during production thanks to an in-pressure casting technique, and no particular device is used in order to transfer shear stresses between the layers. Two beam slenderness values are taken into account. An analytical and a numerical approach have been used in order to predict the experimental behaviour: concerning the analytical approach, a model based on the Stamm and Witte sandwich theory has been developed including material non-linearity; concerning the numerical analysis, a finite element (FE) model has been built in ABAQUS including material and geometry non-linearity. The assumption of perfect bond is used in both cases. The non-linear analytical and finite element models have been validated, as a good agreement with experimental results has been achieved. The experimental identification of material parameters - TRC in tension, mortar in compression and EPS in tension, compression and shear - is crucial for the definition of proper constitutive laws for the models and is here presented and discussed. For both approaches, the assumptions of modelling TRC in bending as homogeneous and assuming perfect bond between TRC and EPS (even when behaviour becomes highly non-linear) have been proved to be reliable. Analytical and FEM results show that EPS non-linear behaviour and TRC membrane and bending behaviour govern the response. The FE analysis also highlights the mechanisms involved in specimen failure.

✏Numerical Analysis and Modelling of Composite Materials Book Summary : Composite materials are increasingly used in many applications because they offer the engineer a range of advantages over traditional materials. They are often used in situations where a specified level of performance is required, but where the cost of testing the materials under the extremes of those specifications is very high. In order to solve this problem, engineers are turning to computer Modelling to evaluate the materials under the range of conditions they are likely to encounter. Many of these analyses are carried out in isolation, and yet the evaluation of a range of composites can be carried out using the same basic principles. In this new book the editor has brought together an international panel of authors, each of whom is working on the analysis and Modelling of composite materials. The overage of the book is deliberately wide; to illustrate that similar principles and methods can be used to model and evaluate a wide range of materials. It is also hoped that, by bringing together this range of topics, the insight gained in the study of one composite can be recognized and utilized in the study of others. Professional engineers involved in the specification and testing of composite material structures will find this book an invaluable resource in the course of their work. It will also be of interest to those industrial and academic engineers involved in the design, development, manufacture and applications of composite materials.

✏3 D Fibrous Assemblies Book Summary : There have been important recent developments in the production and application of three dimensional fabrics. These 3D textile structures have great potential for new fabrics and textile applications. 3D fibrous assemblies summarises some key developments and their applications in the textile industry. The book begins with an introductory chapter which defines the concepts and types of 3D fibrous assemblies. The book then discusses how 3D fabrics can be applied in textile products. These range from composites and protective clothing to medical textiles. The remainder of the book reviews the two main 3D fabrics; multi-axial warp knitted fabrics and multi-layer woven fabrics. Themes such as structure, manufacture, properties and modelling are considered for both fabrics. Written by a distinguished author, 3D fibrous assemblies is a pioneering guide for a broad spectrum of readers, ranging from fibre scientists and designers through to those involved in research and development of new generation textile products. Presents exciting opportunities for the creation of new textiles through the use of three dimensional textile fibre assemblies A comprehensive account of the different types of 3D fabrics and their associated structure, properties, manufacture and modelling Examples of how three dimensional fibres can be applied in textile products

✏3 D Textile Reinforcements in Composite Materials Book Summary : Laminated composite materials have been used since the 1960s for structural applications. This first generation of materials were successful because of the materials' high stiffness and strength performance. The aims of this book are to describe the manufacturing processes, to highlight the advantages, to identify the main applications, to analyse the methods for prediction of mechanical properties and to focus on the key technical aspects of these materials in order to discover how better to exploit their characteristics and to overcome their disadvantages in relation to the laminated composite materials. This book covers many areas related to 3-D fabric textile technologies, and manufacturing is treated as a key issue. Theoretical aspects of micro- and macromechanics are covered in depth, as well as properties and behaviour. Specific techniques including braiding, stitching and knitting are described and compared in order to evaluate the most attractive configurations available at the moment. Present and future applications and trends are described to illustrate that 3-D textiles are part of the real industrial world not only today but tomorrow as well.

✏Mechanical Response of Composites Book Summary : Themethodologyfordesigninghigh-performancecompositestructuresisstill evo- ing. The complexity of the response of composite materials and the dif?culties in predicting the composite material properties from the basic properties of the c- stituents result in the need for a well-planned and exhaustive test program. The recommended practice to mitigate the technological risks associated with advanced composite materials is to substantiate the performance and durability of the design in a sequence of steps known as the Building Block Approach. The Building Block Approach ensures that cost and performance objectives are met by testing greater numbers of smaller, less expensive specimens. In this way, technology risks are assessed early in the program. In addition, the knowledge acquired at a given level of structural complexity is built up before progressing to a level of increased complexity. Achieving substantiation of structural performance by testing alone can be p- hibitively expensive because of the number of specimens and components required to characterize all material systems, loading scenarios and boundary conditions. Building Block Approachprogramscan achieve signi?cant cost reductionsby se- ing a synergy between testing and analysis. The more the development relies on analysis, the less expensive it becomes. The use of advanced computational models for the prediction of the mechanical response of composite structures can replace some of the mechanical tests and can signi?cantly reduce the cost of designing with composites while providing to the engineers the information necessary to achieve an optimized design.
