This comprehensive book delves into the realm of thermo-mechanical coupling constitutive equations and impact damage distributions of 3-D braided composite materials subjected to impulsive loadings,spanning multidisciplinary fields such as mechanical engineering,textile engineering,and impact dynamics. The 3-D braided composite stands as a remarkable textile composite characterized by its integrated braided preform structure,making it a versatile material with widespread applications in aerospace,automotive,and medical engineering. By leveraging the integration of material structure,these composites can effectively manufacture complex structural parts,reducing the number of assembly connections.

This book presents a thermo-mechanical coupled multiscale geometrical model for analyzing damage mechanisms in 3-D braiding composite beams and tubes under diverse impact velocities. Through detailed experimental observations,micro-CT scans,and finite element analyses,impact deformation and damage morphologies are meticulously described,providing a comprehensive understanding of the relationships between microstructure and failure modes. The visual representation of impact damages in figures serves as a valuable guide for designing braided structures with exceptional impact damage tolerance.

Designed with graduate students,researchers,and engineers in mind,this book offers valuable insights into composite materials and mechanics. It serves as a comprehensive resource for those interested in impact dynamics of composite structure design and engineers engaged in impact-proof structure design. The English translation of this book,executed with the assistance of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service provider DeepL.com) and subsequently revised by the author,ensures its accessibility to a global audience.
