Unidirectional vs. woven composites is compared regarding load ‘carrying capacity, initial stiffness, and ply- cFientation. Moreover, progressive failure of different fabric type of oper-hole FRPC at diferent orientations is predicted. + ot insets concentration ys a 10 = Comparing Unidirectional to Woven ‘Composite Laminates Regarding Load Carrying Capacity, Initial Stifness, & es "Modeling Progressive Failure of Different Fabric Type Opentole
