The presented approach is capable of generating representative volume elements with 10%–55% fiber volume fraction. The practical feasibility of the model is demonstrated on numerical examples for isotropic and anisotropic tow materials which are compared to analytical solutions.en0021-9983Journal of composite materials20182940614073Automatic generation and discretization of fully periodic representative volume elements of plain woven compositesJournal Article10.1177/0021998318774403Other
