These materials offer new and exciting opportunities for tailoring the microstructure to spe￾cific thermomechanical applications in the fields of aerospace, marine, medicine and sports technology. The variables under control include fibre and matrix materials, yarn placement, yarn size and type. Together with this emerging ability to engineer composite materials comes the need to develop computationally efficient micromechanics models that can predict, with sufficient accuracy, the effect of the microstructural details on the inter￾nal and macroscopic behaviour of these new materials. Computational effi- ciency is indispensable because there are many parameters that must be varied in the course of engineering a composite material. This chapter addresses the issue of developing micromechanical models for solid woven fabric composites. In the future, it is probably inevitable that the optimiza￾tion of the microstructure of a woven fabric composite will require the marriage of such micromechanical models and optimization algorithms. 3.2 Review on solid woven fabric composites 3.2.1 Introduction This section provides a survey of the literature. First, an overview of woven fabric composites is presented. Solid woven preforms vary considerably in terms of fibre orientation, entanglement and geometry. Second, in order to exploit the advantages of these composites fully, it is important to create a link between the microstructural geometry and the thermomechanical per￾formance [2].
