Abstract
The effective properties of composites can be calculated based on a representative volume element which can be called unit cell for a textile reinforced composite. A general approach of unit cell formulation for thermal conduction study of textile reinforced composites is proposed in this paper. The utilization of translational, reflectional and 180° rotational structure symmetries in the geometry formulation boundary conditions derivation of unit cells are clarified. Several typical two-dimensional textile reinforced composites including plain, 5-harness satin and 8-harness satin woven composites are studied. Unit cells of different sizes are established and corresponding thermal analysis are conducted.
