Textile composites manufactured using Resin Transfer Modeling (RTM) can offer advantages in some automotive applications including reduction in weight, while being relatively simpler to fabricate than standard laminated composites used for aerospace applications. However, one of the challenges that arise with these textile composite materials is that the mechanical properties are inherently dependent on the local and final (in-situ) architecture of the textile itself as a result of the molding and curing processes. While this provides additional latitude in the composite design process it also necessitates the development of analytical models that can estimate the mechanical properties of a textile composite based on the textile architecture and the properties of the manufactured component. In this paper, an analytical model is developed and its estimations are compared against experimental in-plane engineering properties for composites with various textile architectures. Results from the model are also compared against finite element (FE) based computational results. The microstructures of the 2D triaxially braided composite (2DTBC) studied were extensively characterized. The microstructure properties thus measured were used in the analytical model to estimate the mechanical properties. Uniaxial tension and V-notched rail shear tests were conducted on 2DTBC with different textile architectures. Good agreement between the analytical, computational, and experimental results were observed and are reported here. Furthermore, computational estimations of matrix mechanical properties are limited to the linear elastic range of a representative material volume (unit cell) and coupon data. Full mechanical response of larger 2DTBC structures, albeit of prime interest, is beyond the scope of this work and could be the focus of follow up studies.
