AB - This paper studies the mechanical properties of the 2-D tri-axial braided  composite. A volume element is established, so that the classical laminate  plate theory and the series-parallel model can be adopted to study a  bi-directional stress-strain response. Failure criteria are given and the  failure strength is determined. The finite element simulation is used to  verify the reliability of the present theoretical model.
