“…Unit cells (UCs) have been widely employed in modelling and characterisation of composite materials, due to the multiscale characteristic of these materials. Applications of unit cells for composites include the derivation of effective material properties, such as elastic, and thermal properties [17], from the properties of its constituents at the mesoscale, as well as progressive damage analysis of composites [18,19].…”

“…However, the intricate interweaving of warp and weft yarns engenders a complex internal damage mechanism within the material, necessitating the examination of its mechanical properties. While mechanical tests on 2D carbon-fiber woven composites have been conducted by several researchers [ 22 , 23 , 24 ], comprehensive studies on the mechanical properties of plain-weave carbon-fiber woven composites remain relatively scarce. Furthermore, the influence of fiber content on the material is often overlooked in these studies.…”

The influence of fiber volume content on the mechanical properties of two-dimensional (2D) plain carbon-fiber woven composites is a crucial concern that necessitates immediate attention for large-scale applications in wind turbine blades. In this study, various mechanical tests were conducted on 2D plain carbon-fiber woven composites with different fiber volume contents, and the influences of fiber volume content on the mechanical properties and failure mode of the composite material were analyzed. Using carbon fiber as reinforcement and epoxy resin as a matrix, three types of plates with fiber volume contents of 47%, 50% and 53% were fabricated by using autoclave technology. The tensile, compression and interlaminar shear tests of the two-dimensional woven composites were carried out using MTS series testing machines. The influences of fiber volume content on tensile strength and modulus, compressive strength and modulus, interlaminar shear strength and shear strain energy were investigated. Additionally, the progressive damage development of these two-dimensional woven composites under different stress states was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicate that the tensile strength and compressive strength increase almost linearly with the increase in fiber volume content, while the interlaminar shear strength increases slowly at low fiber volume content and rapidly at high fiber volume content. The tensile modulus of elasticity slightly increases as the fiber volume content increases, whereas the compressive modulus remains stable at low fiber volume content but gradually decreases at high fiber volume content. With the increase in fiber volume content, the shear strain energy of the specimen increases significantly.
