| Abstract: | The concepts of modal decomposition developed in an earlier paper are used to produce a three-dimensional element for aligned fibre assemblies. The element degrees of freedom are introduced and the chosen mode shapes of the element demonstrated. The finite element is tested by using simple material-property assumptions, and the element is verified against a theoretical model of the twisting of a single fibre about a solid core. The element is then verified qualitatively by modelling realistic yarn situations, and the resultant deformation plots are presented. |
