Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of new material industry, in particular to high-performance fibers and products and composite materials, and especially to a weaving structure optimization method of glass fiber sleeve. BACKGROUND
[0002] As an important industrial protective material, glass fiber sleeve plays an indispensable role in the protection of equipment in power, machinery and high-temperature environments. Its performance is directly related to the safety and service life of the equipment, especially the performance in tear resistance, which becomes a key indicator of its reliability. However, the mainstream glass fiber sleeve on the current market often exposes significant shortcomings when dealing with complex stress environments.
[0003] The existing weaving process is mainly simple structure, which is difficult to meet the demand of high strength and high durability. Especially when facing repeated pulling or sudden external force impact, the material is easy to break or fail. This limitation not only comes from the simplicity of process design, but also reflects the neglect of the synergistic optimization of material structure and mechanical properties. In this field, the biggest challenge is how to balance the tear resistance and the improvement of overall mechanical properties of the material through innovative design of weaving structure. As the core factor determining the tear resistance of the material, the design of weaving structure directly affects the interaction force between fibers. If the structure design is unreasonable, the stress distribution between fibers will be extremely uneven, which will lead to the local weak point to be damaged first under stress. Further, this uneven stress distribution will also exacerbate the fatigue damage of the material in long-term use, which will greatly reduce the durability.
[0004] Therefore, optimizing the weaving structure to achieve uniform stress distribution and enhancing the tear resistance of the material on this basis has become a technical problem to be solved. How to achieve balanced distribution of stress between fibers in the design of weaving structure and significantly improve the tear resistance of glass fiber sleeve through innovative process has become the key problem of this research.

[0012] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and thoroughly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are merely some embodiments of the present invention.
[0013] like Figs. 1-3 The method for optimizing the braided structure of a glass fiber sheath in this embodiment may specifically include:
[0014] Step S101: By digitally modeling the braided structure design of the glass fiber sleeve, the initial fiber arrangement parameters and structural morphology data are obtained. Based on the stress characteristics under complex stress environment, a multi-layer braided structure model is constructed to obtain a preliminary structural distribution scheme.
[0015] Initial geometric data of the braided structure of the glass fiber sheath is obtained, and a digital model containing fiber arrangement angles and densities is generated to obtain initial fiber distribution parameters. Based on the initial fiber distribution parameters, a single-layer model of the braided structure is constructed using a geometric modeling tool, generating morphological data including fiber spacing and braiding angles to obtain the single-layer structure distribution. If the stress concentration points in the single-layer structure distribution exceed a preset threshold, the fiber arrangement angles and densities are adjusted using an iterative optimization algorithm to generate an optimized single-layer model, resulting in an improved single-layer structure distribution. Based on the improved single-layer structure distribution, multiple single-layer structures are superimposed using an interlayer connection algorithm to construct a multi-layer braided model, generating structural data containing interlayer stress transfer, resulting in a multi-layer structure distribution. Stress distribution features are extracted from the multi-layer structure distribution, and the interlayer stress transfer efficiency is analyzed using finite element simulation to obtain stress adaptability data. If the maximum stress value in the stress adaptability data is lower than a preset threshold, the interlayer connection parameters are adjusted, and the multi-layer braided model is regenerated to obtain an optimized structural distribution scheme. Based on the optimized structural distribution scheme, a final digital model containing fiber arrangement parameters and interlayer connection data is generated, resulting in a preliminary structural distribution scheme.
[0016] Specifically, the braided structure of the glass fiber sheath was digitally modeled using finite element analysis software such as ANSYS. Initial fiber arrangement parameters were set as follows: fiber diameter 0.02 mm, braiding angle 30 degrees, and fiber spacing 0.1 mm. A 3D solid modeling method was used to generate the initial geometric model, containing a mesh of 1000 fibers with a mesh element size of 0.01 mm to ensure model accuracy. The structural morphology data was used to calculate the fiber path using a geometric algorithm, employing a sine function to describe the fiber trajectory: y = 0.05sin(2πx / 0.2), where x is the fiber axial coordinate. This generated 3D coordinate point cloud data, stored in STL format. For complex stress environments, assuming the stress includes axial tension of 100 MPa and shear stress of 50 MPa, a multi-layered braided structure model is constructed. Parametric modeling is performed using Python scripts combined with Abaqus, setting a three-layer braided structure: an inner layer of tight braid (25-degree angle, 0.08 mm spacing), a middle layer of standard braid (30-degree angle, 0.1 mm spacing), and an outer layer of loose braid (35-degree angle, 0.12 mm spacing). Iterative algorithms are used to optimize interlayer connection points and calculate nodal stress distribution, ensuring the maximum stress does not exceed the material's yield strength of 200 MPa. The preliminary structural distribution scheme simulates the randomness of fiber arrangement using a Monte Carlo algorithm, generating 10,000 random distributions. The scheme with a stress concentration factor less than 1.5 is selected, outputting the optimal fiber distribution matrix. The matrix dimension is 100×100, and the element value is the fiber density (range 0.8-1.2 g / cm³). The analysis process uses the finite element method to calculate the stress transfer efficiency of each layer. The transfer efficiency reaches 85% for the inner layer, 80% for the middle layer, and 75% for the outer layer. By comparing the stress distribution cloud maps, the stability of the model under complex stress is verified, and an optimized STL file and stress analysis report are generated.
[0017] Step S102: Based on the preliminary structural distribution scheme, the stress distribution of the braided structure model is simulated using the finite element analysis method to obtain the location information of stress concentration areas and local weak points under fiber interaction, and to determine potential failure risk points.
[0018] Data on the braided structure scheme is acquired, including model geometric parameters and material mechanical properties. A braided structure model is constructed based on these parameters. Boundary conditions are set for the braided structure model, and stress distribution simulation is performed using finite element analysis to obtain stress distribution data. Fiber interaction characteristics are extracted from the stress distribution data to identify stress concentration regions. For each stress concentration region, local stress values are analyzed; if a local stress value exceeds a preset threshold for the material's mechanical properties, it is identified as a local weak point. Based on the location information of these weak points, the distribution of potential failure risk points is calculated, generating failure risk point coordinates. The K-means clustering algorithm is used to classify these risk point coordinates, obtaining clustering results. Based on these clustering results, weak point distribution characteristics are generated to determine the final failure risk point locations.
[0019] Specifically, based on the preliminary structural distribution scheme, a three-dimensional geometric model of the woven structure was first constructed. Computer-aided design software was used to generate a model including fiber bundles and matrix material. The fiber bundle diameter was set to 0.1 mm, the weaving angle to 45 degrees, and the matrix material to be epoxy resin. The model mesh was generated using tetrahedral elements, with the mesh size controlled at 0.05 mm to ensure computational accuracy. Next, the geometric model was imported into finite element analysis software (such as ANSYS), and material properties were defined. The Young's modulus of the fiber bundle was 230 GPa, and its Poisson's ratio was 0.25. The Young's modulus of the matrix material was 3.5 GPa, and its Poisson's ratio was 0.35. The boundary condition was applied with one side fixed and the other side subjected to a tensile load of 100 MPa. Stress distribution simulation was performed using a nonlinear finite element method (such as the Newton-Raphson method). The iterative convergence criterion was set to a residual of less than 10^-6. The stress distribution at the interface between the fiber bundle and the matrix was calculated, revealing that the maximum stress concentration region was located at the fiber bundle intersection, with a maximum von Mises stress of 450 MPa, exceeding the yield strength of the matrix material by 300 MPa, indicating this as a potential failure risk point. Further analysis using local stress contour maps revealed that the strain value in the strain concentration region near the intersection reached 0.015, significantly higher than the 0.005 in other regions, confirming this area as a local weak point. To verify the results, a multi-scale analysis method was used to transfer the macroscopic stress distribution results to the microscopic model. In the microscopic model, the fiber diameter inside the fiber bundle was 7 micrometers. The microscopic stress transfer between fibers was calculated, revealing a stress gradient within the fiber bundle, with a maximum microscopic stress of 600 MPa. Comprehensive analysis identified the intersection and the interior of the fiber bundle as the main failure risk points, recommending optimization of the weaving angle to 60 degrees to reduce stress concentration. The entire process was automated using scripts for data transfer and result extraction, ensuring computational efficiency and accuracy.
[0020] Step S103: For the identified failure risk points, optimize the stress distribution uniformity by adjusting the fiber density and angle parameters in the braided structure model, obtain the improved structural design data, and determine whether the preset stress uniformity threshold is met.
[0021] Initial stress distribution data is obtained from failure risk points. Finite element analysis (FEM) is used to identify high-stress and low-stress regions, resulting in a stress distribution map. Based on this map, the fiber density parameters in the braided structure model are adjusted, and a genetic algorithm is used to optimize the fiber density distribution, yielding improved parameters. Using these improved parameters, the angle parameters in the braided structure model are adjusted, and a simulated annealing algorithm is used to optimize the angle distribution, resulting in improved angle parameters. The braided structure model is updated using these improved parameters, and FEM is used to obtain improved stress distribution data. For the improved stress distribution data, a stress uniformity index is calculated. If the index is lower than a preset uniformity threshold, the fiber density and angle parameters are adjusted again, and the optimization process is repeated. Improved structural design data is generated from the optimized stress distribution data. A data verification algorithm is used to determine if the preset uniformity threshold is met, yielding verification results. Structural design data meeting the uniformity threshold is extracted from the verification results, and the final braided structure model parameters are output to determine the optimized design scheme.
[0022] Specifically, for a identified failure risk point, suppose a region in a composite woven structure is identified as having a failure risk due to stress concentration. The specific location is a fiber interlacing point (x=10mm, y=15mm), with a maximum stress value of 500MPa, exceeding the material's allowable stress of 400MPa. First, stress distribution data for this region is extracted using finite element analysis software (such as ANSYS), and an initial woven structure model is constructed, setting the fiber density to 100 fibers per square centimeter and the fiber angle to 45°. To optimize the stress distribution uniformity, the fiber density and angle parameters are adjusted, and a genetic algorithm is used for iterative optimization. The objective function is to minimize the stress variance, with constraints including a fiber density range of 80-120 fibers / cm² and an angle range of 30°-60°. The initial population consisted of 50 design schemes. In each iteration, the stress distribution was calculated, and the 10 schemes with the lowest variance were selected for cross-mutation with a mutation rate of 0.1. After 100 generations, the optimal solution was obtained: fiber density of 105 fibers / cm², angle of 42°. At this point, the stress variance decreased from the initial 15000MPa² to 8000MPa². Next, a finite element model was reconstructed based on the optimized parameters to simulate the stress distribution of the new structure under the same load (100kN). The maximum stress decreased to 420MPa, and the average stress in the concentrated area was 390MPa. Stress uniformity was assessed, with a preset threshold of stress variance less than 10000MPa². The optimized variance met the requirement, but the maximum stress still slightly exceeded the allowable value, requiring further consideration of material selection or local reinforcement. The analysis showed that a 5% increase in fiber density and a 3° angle adjustment effectively dispersed stress concentration, verifying the feasibility of the algorithm. To ensure a closed-loop logic, the optimization results are exported as a CAD model for subsequent manufacturing process adjustments. Finally, improved structural design data is generated, including node coordinates, stress values, and fiber parameters, and saved in JSON format.
[0023] Step S104: If the improved structural design data does not reach the preset stress uniformity threshold, the fiber interaction parameters are fine-tuned through an iterative optimization algorithm to obtain a new weaving structure scheme and determine the improvement effect of stress distribution.
[0024] The process involves: acquiring initial stress distribution data of the braided structure, obtained through finite element analysis; calculating a uniformity index for the stress distribution data, which characterizes the degree of uniformity of the stress distribution; if the uniformity index does not reach a preset uniformity threshold, adjusting the fiber interaction parameters using a gradient descent algorithm to obtain a first set of adjustment parameters; generating a first optimized braided structure scheme based on the first set of adjustment parameters; acquiring stress distribution data of the first optimized braided structure scheme through finite element analysis to obtain first optimized stress distribution data; calculating the uniformity index of the first optimized stress distribution data to determine the optimization range compared to the initial stress distribution data; if the optimization range does not reach a preset uniformity threshold, further adjusting the first set of adjustment parameters using a simulated annealing algorithm to obtain a second set of adjustment parameters; generating a second optimized braided structure scheme based on the second set of adjustment parameters; acquiring stress distribution data of the second optimized braided structure scheme through finite element analysis to obtain final stress distribution data; calculating the uniformity index of the final stress distribution data to determine whether it meets a preset uniformity threshold and thus determining the optimization result.
[0025] Specifically, for the improved structural design data, the stress distribution of the braided structure was first calculated using finite element analysis software (such as ANSYS). Assuming an initial fiber braiding angle of 45 degrees, a fiber volume content of 60%, and a load of 100 MPa, the analysis yielded a maximum stress of 150 MPa, a minimum stress of 50 MPa, and a stress uniformity threshold of ±10%. The calculation results showed a stress difference of 100 MPa, which did not meet the threshold requirement. Next, a genetic algorithm was used for iterative optimization. Fiber interaction parameters (such as the inter-fiber friction coefficient of 0.3 and braiding density of 1.2 fibers / mm) were set as optimization variables. The objective function was to minimize the stress difference, with constraints including a fiber angle range of 30-60 degrees, 100 iterations, and a population size of 50. The algorithm adjusted the parameters using a crossover probability of 0.8 and a mutation probability of 0.01, resulting in a new parameter combination: a fiber angle of 48 degrees, a friction coefficient of 0.28, and a braiding density of 1.25 fibers / mm. Based on the new parameters, a braided structure scheme was generated and re-simulated using ANSYS. The maximum stress was found to be 140 MPa, the minimum stress to be 60 MPa, and the stress difference to be reduced to 80 MPa. Further analysis of the improvement effect confirmed an improvement in stress uniformity of approximately 20.8% by calculating the standard deviation of the stress distribution (reduced from the initial 25.5 to 20.2). If the threshold was still not met, the optimization was repeated, adjusting the parameter range or increasing the number of iterations, until the final braided structure scheme and stress distribution data that met the threshold were output.
[0026] Step S105: Based on the new weaving structure scheme, simulate the mechanical performance under high strength requirements and sudden external impact scenarios, obtain test data on tear resistance performance, and determine whether it meets the preset performance standards.
[0027] The geometric parameters and material properties of the novel braided structure are obtained, and a three-dimensional finite element model is constructed. Finite element analysis is used to simulate high-strength requirements and sudden external impact scenarios, obtaining stress distribution and deformation data from the three-dimensional finite element model. Based on the Lagrangian mechanics model, the impact energy absorption and deformation recovery capabilities of the stress distribution and deformation data are calculated to obtain tear resistance performance indicators. If the tear resistance performance indicators are lower than the preset performance standard, the geometric parameters of the braided structure are adjusted, and finite element analysis is performed again to obtain updated stress distribution and deformation data. Based on the updated stress distribution and deformation data, the stability of the braided structure is analyzed, and key mechanical performance feature values are extracted. A support vector machine algorithm is used to classify the key mechanical performance feature values to determine whether they meet the preset performance standard. If the classification result meets the preset performance standard, the tear resistance performance indicator and the optimized geometric parameters of the braided structure are output to determine the final design scheme.
[0028] Specifically, to simulate the mechanical performance under high-strength requirements and sudden external impact scenarios, a geometric model of the novel braided structure was first established using finite element analysis software (such as ANSYS). The material was set as high-strength aramid fiber with a density of 1.44 g / cm³, an elastic modulus of 120 GPa, and a Poisson's ratio of 0.35. The model adopted a three-dimensional hexagonal braided structure with a fiber bundle diameter of 0.2 mm and a braiding angle of 45° to simulate complex stress distribution. Next, a static load under high-strength requirements was applied, with a uniform tensile stress of 500 MPa set to simulate the continuous high-strength requirements in actual use. Simultaneously, a transient impact load was applied to simulate sudden external impact, with a peak force of 10 kN and an impact time of 0.01 seconds. An explicit dynamic algorithm was used to solve the problem to ensure computational stability, with a time step of 1 × 10⁻⁶ seconds. Tear resistance testing was conducted using a virtual tear test. An initial crack length of 5 mm was set, and the extended finite element method (XFEM) was used to simulate crack propagation. The stress intensity factor K_I at the crack tip was calculated to obtain tear resistance data. Results showed that the maximum strain under static tension was 0.015, meeting the preset strain standard (<0.02). Under impact, the crack propagation length was 7.8 mm, and the stress intensity factor K_I was 32 MPa·m^0.5, which did not exceed the material fracture toughness K_IC (40 MPa·m^0.5), indicating that the tear resistance met the standard. The analysis process employed the energy balance principle, calculating the total strain energy to be 1.2 × 10^4 J / m³, ensuring energy dissipation remained within a controllable range. To verify the results, 1000 random load simulations were performed using the Monte Carlo method, confirming that the performance data fluctuation rate was less than 5%, demonstrating design stability. All steps were integrated into the ANSYS Workbench platform using automated scripts. Data processing was performed using Python scripts, calling the NumPy library for statistical analysis to ensure repeatability and logical consistency of the results.
[0029] Step S106: If the tear resistance test data does not meet the preset standard, the design of fiber reinforcement layers in local weak points is increased, the weaving structure model is adjusted, the updated mechanical performance simulation results are obtained, and the feasibility of improving durability is determined.
[0030] Tear resistance test data is obtained, including mechanical property parameters of multiple samples. If the tear resistance of the test data does not meet a preset threshold, the test data is cleaned using a data preprocessing algorithm to obtain a standardized test dataset. Based on the standardized test dataset, the mechanical properties of local weak points are evaluated using finite element analysis to obtain stress distribution data in the weak areas. If the stress distribution data exceeds a preset stress threshold, the design parameters of the fiber reinforcement layer are optimized using a genetic algorithm to obtain an optimized fiber reinforcement layer design scheme. Based on the optimized fiber reinforcement layer design scheme, the braiding structure model is adjusted to obtain updated braiding structure parameters. The updated braiding structure parameters are then simulated using finite element analysis to obtain new mechanical property simulation results. If the new mechanical property simulation results meet a preset durability threshold, a data comparison algorithm is used to analyze the consistency between the simulation results and the standardized test dataset.
[0031] Specifically, in the tear resistance test, assuming the test data shows that the material's tear strength is 15 N / mm, which does not meet the preset standard of 20 N / mm, the following steps are taken: First, stress distribution analysis is performed on the weak points of the material using finite element analysis software (such as ANSYS) to identify stress concentration areas. For example, the maximum stress value in the edge area with a thickness of only 1.2 mm reaches 80 MPa, exceeding the material's yield strength. Based on this, a fiber reinforcement layer is designed, using carbon fiber (modulus 200 GPa, density 1.8 g / cm³). Two 0.3 mm thick fiber reinforcement layers are stacked using an orthogonal layup (0° / 90°), and the geometric model is adjusted using CAD software. Next, the weave structure model is optimized using textile structure simulation tools (such as TexGen). The original plain weave (warp and weft density 10 threads / cm) is adjusted to a twill weave (2 / 2 twill, warp and weft density 12 threads / cm) to improve the interlacing strength between fibers and reduce stress concentration. The updated model recalculated its mechanical properties using finite element simulation. Inputting material parameters (Poisson's ratio 0.3, shear modulus 80 GPa), the simulation results showed an increase in tear strength to 22 N / mm and a decrease in maximum stress to 65 MPa. Durability assessment employed a fatigue analysis algorithm (based on the Goodman criterion), inputting cyclic loads (10^5 cycles, load amplitude 10 N / mm). The calculated fatigue life increased by approximately 30%, reaching the expected 1.2 million cycles. Comprehensive analysis confirmed that the combination of fiber reinforcement and twill weave effectively improves durability, meeting standard requirements. For further optimization, iterative algorithms (such as genetic algorithms) can be used to adjust the number of fiber layers and weave angle to generate a better design, ensuring the tear strength remains stable within the 22-25 N / mm range.
[0032] Step S107: Based on the updated mechanical property simulation results and combined with the fatigue damage assessment model for long service life, obtain the fatigue life prediction data of the material under complex stress environment, and determine whether it meets the requirements for improved durability.
[0033] Mechanical performance simulation data under complex stress environments is obtained. This simulation data, generated through finite element analysis, includes stress distribution characteristics and material property parameters. Based on the stress distribution characteristics, the Goodman fatigue criterion is used to calculate cyclic loading characteristics and obtain the effective stress amplitude. Based on the effective stress amplitude, the Miner linear damage accumulation law is used to calculate the cumulative damage value in the fatigue damage model. If the cumulative damage value is less than a preset damage threshold, the long-term service life is predicted using the Wöhler curve, obtaining fatigue life prediction data. Based on the fatigue life prediction data and combined with life assessment standards, it is determined whether the durability requirements are met, obtaining a durability assessment result. Based on the durability assessment result, a support vector machine algorithm is used to analyze the correlation between material property parameters and durability requirements, obtaining an optimized parameter set. Based on the optimized parameter set, the input parameters of the simulation model are adjusted, and the mechanical performance simulation data is regenerated to obtain updated fatigue life prediction data.
[0034] Specifically, based on the updated mechanical property simulation results, the stress distribution of the material under complex stress environment was first simulated using the finite element analysis software ANSYS. Assuming the material is aerospace-grade aluminum alloy 7075-T6, the maximum principal stress is 450 MPa, and the shear stress is 200 MPa, the equivalent stress was calculated using the von Mises criterion, yielding the equivalent stress σ_v = √(σ_1^2 + σ_2^2 - σ_1σ_2 + 3τ^2) = 480 MPa. Next, combining the fatigue damage assessment of long-term service life, the SN curve (stress-life curve) model was selected. The SN curve parameters for the aluminum alloy are the fatigue strength coefficient σ_f' = 900 MPa, the fatigue strength index b = -0.095, and the formula N_f = (σ_f' / σ_a)^(1 / b), where σ_a is the cyclic stress amplitude. Taking the equivalent stress as 480 MPa, the fatigue life N_f ≈ 1.2 × 10^5 cycles was calculated. To further evaluate durability, Miner's linear cumulative damage theory was adopted. It was assumed that the material experienced three stress levels (480 MPa, 300 MPa, and 150 MPa) under actual working conditions, with cycle numbers n_1 = 5 × 10^4, n_2 = 8 × 10^4, and n_3 = 2 × 10^5, respectively. The corresponding lifetimes were N_1 = 1.2 × 10^5, N_2 = 1.8 × 10^6, and N_3 = 1.5 × 10^8, respectively. The damage fraction D = n_1 / N_1 + n_2 / N_2 + n_3 / N_3 = 0.416 + 0.044 + 0.0013 = 0.4613. A value less than 1 indicates that the material has not reached the failure criterion. Ultimately, the durability improvement requirement was a damage fraction D < 0.5, and the calculated result met the requirement. To ensure the reliability of the results, and in accordance with business requirements, a Python script is used to call the API interface to automatically extract simulation data and perform fatigue life calculations, generating a life prediction report. The report includes stress distribution cloud maps and damage fraction curves, ensuring that the analysis process is traceable and efficient.
[0035] Step S108: By analyzing the fatigue life prediction data, the parameters of key stress areas in the braided structure are adjusted to obtain the final optimized design scheme and determine the comprehensive improvement effect of the tear resistance and overall mechanical properties of the glass fiber sleeve.
[0036] Fatigue life prediction data is obtained, including stress and strain values in multiple stress areas. Data analysis techniques are used to process the fatigue life prediction data to obtain the stress distribution characteristics of key stress areas. Based on these stress distribution characteristics, key stress areas in the braided structure are identified, and their geometric and material parameters are determined. Finite element analysis is used to simulate the geometric and material parameters of the key stress areas to obtain initial stress distribution data for the braided structure. If the stress distribution data exceeds a preset tear resistance threshold, the geometric parameters of the braided structure are adjusted using a gradient descent algorithm to obtain optimized braided structure parameters. Finite element analysis is used to simulate the optimized braided structure parameters to obtain tear resistance data for the glass fiber sleeve. Based on the tear resistance data, the Monte Carlo method is used to analyze the overall mechanical properties of the optimized braided structure to obtain a performance distribution range. Finally, based on the tear resistance data and the performance distribution range, a final design scheme for the glass fiber sleeve is generated.
[0037] Specifically, by analyzing the fatigue life prediction data of the glass fiber duct, the stress distribution of the duct was simulated using the finite element analysis software ANSYS. Initial weaving parameters were input: warp density of 20 yarns / cm, weft density of 15 yarns / cm, and fiber diameter of 0.01 mm. Using the Goodman fatigue life prediction model, the fatigue life under a cyclic stress of 100 MPa was calculated, yielding an initial life of 10^6 cycles. The analysis results showed that the critical stress area was concentrated in the middle of the duct, with a maximum stress of 120 MPa, exceeding the material's allowable stress of 110 MPa. By adjusting the weaving structure, optimizing the warp density to 25 yarns / cm and the weft density to 18 yarns / cm, and using a genetic algorithm to optimize the fiber orientation angle, with the objective function set as minimizing the maximum stress, the optimal orientation angle was obtained after 100 iterations at 45°, at which point the maximum stress decreased to 105 MPa. Further Monte Carlo simulations were used, with random variables including fiber strength (mean 500 MPa, standard deviation 50 MPa) and a weaving defect rate of 0.1%, to evaluate the improvement in tear resistance. The calculated tear resistance increased from the initial 200 N / cm to 250 N / cm, an increase of 25%. Overall mechanical properties were verified through tensile test simulations. After inputting the new parameters, the sleeve tensile strength increased from 400 MPa to 450 MPa, and the elongation increased from 2% to 2.5%. Comparing the data before and after optimization, the overall performance improvement rate was approximately 20%. The improvement in tear resistance was directly related to the increase in weaving density and the optimization of the orientation angle, while the improvement in mechanical properties benefited from the uniformity of stress distribution. The final optimized scheme is: warp density 25 yarns / cm, weft density 18 yarns / cm, and orientation angle 45°, which can be achieved by adjusting the parameters using automated weaving equipment.
