Multi-scale 2D woven accounting for in-plane shear

This is a two-module Python package for:

1. Obtaining in-plane sheared RVE material properties in any in-plane direction.
2. Using the sheared RVE properties in a component level shell model. This module requires a forming simulation and its associated VUMAT can be found in HypoDrape. Please ask for the HypoDrape-2D-woven version when requesting access to the HypoDrape software.

The related work was conducted at the University of Bristol for Meng yi’s PhD funded by Jaguar Land Rover and the EPSRC [iCase XXXXX] (EP/[]).
