Abstract
This is the first of a series of papers on the cylindrical orthotropic thermal conductivity of spiral woven composites. In this study, the geometric characteristics of spiral woven composites are modelled. A single layer of spiral woven fabric is considered as a fundamental structure, and used to develop representative models, including round disc and polygon ones. In these representative models, crimps, cross-sections, and radial and circumferential arrangements of yarns are illustrated by cosine and arc yarn shape functions. 28 refs.
