Abstract

A simple model, based on physical microstructure, that predicts the anisotropic transport properties of cloth lay-up composites is discussed. This anisotropic material is modeled as a layer structure consisting of two, or more, isotropic components. Composite transport coefficients perpendicular and parallel to the layers are given by “series” and “parallel” combining laws involving the isotropic coefficients of these component materials and their volume fractions. These component material properties are determined using microstructural information and fundamental material properties. Model calculations are compared to experimental measurements for gas permeability.
