  Abstract

Biocomposite materials are a sustainable production alternative displacing traditional composites in specific applications, given their lower carbon footprint, low cost, and similar features to synthetic composites. However, given its natural origin, raw material is usually preferred over synthetic reinforcements. The present work investigates the effect of the acquisition in the raw material of a woven biocomposite material, particularly reinforcement of fique (Furcraea Andina), a plant of South American origin. Initially, a geometric characterization of the tissue layer using micrographs is presented. Next, a numerical campaign is carried out to determine the effects of the distribution of the variables on the mechanical behavior of the biocomposite, and this process is carried out using the homogenization of composite materials with the Texgen software as a tissue modeler. The results are the engineering constants and the elasticity and stiffness matrices. The results show a considerable scatter of mechanical properties given the textile's geometrical imperfections, which implies a non-even distribution of stiffness across the laminated part.
