A multi-scale energy model is used Received in revised form 19 July 2011 to predict the shear force–shear angle–shear rate behaviour of viscous textile composites, at specified Accepted 21 July 2011 temperatures, using parameters supplied readily by material manufacturers, such as fibre volume frac- Available online 28 July 2011 tion, weave architecture and matrix rheology. The predictions of the energy model are fed into finite ele- ment simulations to provide the in-plane shear properties of two different macro-scale constitutive Keywords:
