Design/methodology/approach: Due to the definition of plain representative sequences of balanced plain-weave and twill-weave 2/2 fabric reinforced single layers based on sines the variable geometric parameters are the amplitude and the length of the ondulation. Findings: The mesomechanic kinematic can be observed in the FE analyses for both kinds of fabric constructions. Research limitations/implications: The FE analyses consider elasticity and contraction due to Poisson effects, respectively, of the model under selected longitudinal strains. Practical implications: The results are evaluated at relevant positions on the centre-line of the ondulated warp-yarn of the plain representative model. A direct and linear coupling in case of the transversal kinematic behaviour, and thereby a corresponding definite reduction of the evaluated longitudinal strains in terms of the difference of the applied and determined longitudinal strains is identified. Originality/value: Both characteristic purely kinematic reactions due to geometric constraints directly depend on the introduced degree of ondulation. This non-dimensional parameter relates amplitude and length of one complete ondulation, and thus represents the intensity of the ondulation of the respective fabric construction.}, language = {en} } @article{RomanoEhrlichGebbeken, author = {Romano, Marco and Ehrlich, Ingo and Gebbeken, Norbert}, title = {Structural mechanic material damping in fabric reinforced composites}, series = {Archives of Materials Science and Engineering (ArchivesMSE)}, volume = {88}, journal = {Archives of Materials Science and Engineering (ArchivesMSE)}, number = {1}, doi = {10.5604/01.3001.0010.7747}, pages = {12 -- 41}, abstract = {Purpose: A review regarding the acting mechanisms of structural dynamic material damping in fabric reinforced composites is presented. Design/methodology/approach: Mechanical acting principles identified by different investigations are considered. Aspects of the determination and calculation of structural mechanical material properties of fabric reinforced composites are described. Approaches intending the description and classification of ondulations in fabrics reinforced single layers are demonstrated. Findings: The mesomechanic geometry of fabrics is not considered sufficiently by relatively simple homogenization approaches. Yet, it significantly affects its structural dynamic material properties, especially the dynamic ones. Research limitations/implications: In each case the different damping mechanisms act coupled and occur at the same time. Therefore a separation procedure is required in any case. Practical implications: Against the background of the comparison and remarks of the presented papers a reasonable further procedure is recommended. Thereby, FE-calculations with a parametrical variation of the mesomechanic geometry in order to identify kinematic correlations due to geometric constraints are suggested. Originality/value: The idea of the representation of the geometric conditions in terms of a degree of ondulation is described. Such a non-dimensional specific value representing the intensity of the ondulation would enable the comparability of the results of different kinds of investigations.}, language = {en} } @article{ValentinoSgambitterraFurgiueleetal., author = {Valentino, Piergiorgio and Sgambitterra, Emanuele and Furgiuele, Franco and Romano, Marco and Ehrlich, Ingo and Gebbeken, Norbert}, title = {Mechanical characterization of basalt woven fabric composites}, series = {Frattura ed Integrit{\`a} Strutturale (Fracture and Structural Integrity)}, volume = {8}, journal = {Frattura ed Integrit{\`a} Strutturale (Fracture and Structural Integrity)}, number = {28}, doi = {10.3221/IGF-ESIS.28.01}, pages = {1 -- 11}, abstract = {Basalt fabric composite, with different twill wave reinforcements, i.e. twill 2/2 and twill 1/3, have been studied in this work by means of experimental tests and numerical finite element (FE) simulations. As fabric reinforcements show repeating undulations of warp and fill yarn, simple mixtures law cannot be applied. As a consequence, the mesoscopic scale, lying between the microscopic and the macroscopic one, has to be taken into account to mechanically characterize a fabric reinforced composite. The aim of this work is to evaluate the stiffness of a fabric reinforced composite in warp and fill direction. In particular a numerical FE model, assuming elliptical sections and sinusoidal shape of the yarns, has been implemented and experimental tests have been carried out in order to validate the proposed model. Finally, the strength and the failure modes le orientation, have been experimentally investigated.}, language = {en} } @article{RomanoHoinkesEhrlichetal., author = {Romano, Marco and Hoinkes, Carl J.

The fibre volume content of the test panels has been determined. Furthermore the influence of a separating layer at selected positions in the hybrid stacked panels was investigated. The results show the influence and the energy dissipation capacity of each single kind of fibre and the enhanced properties for the hybrid layups by hybrid stacking sequences and the use of a separating core material.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{RomanoHoinkesEhrlichetal., author = {Romano, Marco and Hoinkes, Carl J.
