Woven composites stress modelling

Bogdanovich AE. Multi-scale modelling, stress and failure analyses of 3-D woven composites. J Mater Sci 2006 41 6547-90. 

In a simple model for this case, which, as in the 3-D case, ignores fiber straightening and anisotropy of the fibrous network, a plane stress version of Eqn. (35) can be developed. As such, it can only be used for plane stress states. Consider the x-y plane to be that in which the fibers are woven or the whiskers are lying. The strain rates in this plane are taken to be homogeneous throughout the composite material and crzz, axz and ayz are taken to be zero. The resulting law is...
