Abstract:

In order to predict fabric tensile properties, the finite element method was used to analyze the tensile mechanics of the fabric. Based on the geometric structure parameters of the fabric, the fabric model was established by using the textile modeling software Texgen, and the material properties, interaction and boundary conditions were set in the finite element software ABAQUS to simulate the tensile mechanical properties of the fabric, strain - strain curve and stress distribution after extension and deformation. Finally, the simulation results were verified by the tensile strength test of the fabric. The results show that the simulated strain-strain curve is roughly the same as the tensile-elongation curve of the experiment. The error between maximum tensile stress and the experimental tensile stress is 3.03%, which proves that ABAQUS finite element software can simulate the reliability of viscose fabric tensile mechanical properties.
