| ABSTRACT: In this paper the effect of stitches on the overall behavior of reinforcement structure is investigated by using a finite-element (FE) approach. It is intended to provide an understanding of the basic mechanisms Which control the reinforced structures. These Structures have been manufactured using a fully automated cell described in pervious publications. Simple uniaxial FE models been developed using the material properties that determined experimentally. Those models have been successfully validated against the experimental tests and used as a basis from which the main models were generated. These latter FE models were employed to conduct a series of analyses on typical I-beams with a variation of stitch patterns and loading conditions. Following a successful validation of the FEA modeling, a parametric study has been conducted on a typical I-beam section with and without stitches to investigate the influence of both stitch position and the loading condition. The investigation has shown that the stitches would reduce the strength of the beam by 8% atmost. | ||||
