Failure criteria for fabric composite or woven composite

Hello Azadeh,

As far as I know, some people use multiscale modeling to study the failure behavior of  fabric/woven composites.

Failure breaks down into two levels i) microscopic level and ii) macroscopic level. At i) failure criterion for constituents

are considered and the outcome of i) will be transfered into ii) using micro-mechanics.
