Thermal deformation behavior of Triaxial Woven Fabric (TWF) composites with open holes

Thermal deformation behavior of Triaxial Woven Fabric (TWF) composites is modeled herein using Super-Finite-Elements proposed previously. Thermal deformation behavior and Thermal Expansion Coefficients (TECs) of the TWF composites are evaluated. Effects of the aspect ratios and size of the panels on the TECs are studied.
