Abstract
Woven textiles are not only a craft and industrial product but also a thousand-year-old crystallization of human technology. However, the highly sought after mechanical behavior of fabric, generally undergoing large structural distortion along with material deformation even under small stress, is still not clearly understood despite a growing interest in emerging applications, such as flexible electron devices, biomedicine and other engineering fields. Herein, a numerical methodology was introduced to strengthen the comprehensive understanding of the synergy effect of material mechanics and mesostructures of woven materials. A hyper-viscoelastic constitutive model for yarn materials was proposed, and a meso-scale geometry model captured from a resin-cured woven fabric was used, down to micron-sized weaving structures, to investigate the uniaxial loading and unloading process based on finite element (FE) method. The tensile and hysteresis mechanics was identified based on the validated FE model and parameter study of friction effect and fabric structures. The nonlinear tensile and recovery behaviors were reasonably represented by the developed models and the synergistic effect of inner yarn friction and viscoelasticity on the hysteresis was proved. This study can provide an effective method to analyze and predict the nonlinear tensile and hysteresis behavior of woven fabric, laying down the way to textile-based strain sensing materials by enhancing our design and tuning capabilities of the dimension stability of woven materials under tension.
