Abstract
The work presents an analytical model to evaluate the mechanical behaviour of dry monofilament technical textiles. The mechanical behaviour is obtained by a three-dimensional analytical model based on a theory of curved beam. Taking into consideration a unit cell, the macroscopic (or global) behaviour of the monofilament textile is investigated assuming the nonlinear constitutive behaviour of the fibres obtained by experimental tests. The comparison between the predicted analytical mechanical responses and the experimental test results is detailed.
