    Abstract

    This paper concerns the mechanical behaviour of woven fabric structures in flexible composites. Mechanics of such structures can be acknowledged by understanding the behaviour of constituent yarns upon tensile loading, and the influence of polymer matrix on it. The yarns are treated as elastica in the model.
