Deep space missions require self-deployable structures built of ultra-thin materials which can be carried to space in a limited space. Therefore, a growing demand for ultra-thin woven composites has been identified in ...

Growing demand for ultra-thin woven composites has been identified in weight-sensitive applications, especially in space engineering applications such as self-deployable structures. They undergo extreme curvatures during ...

This paper considers the applicability of classical lamination theory for woven composites for the analysis of bending behaviour of such composites. Although the Classical lamination theory is directly used for the analysis ...
