Abstract: To estimate the influence of tensile modulus and thickness of composite cell on the tensile deformation, the commercial finite element ANSYS software was applied to this study. The results show that it will help to decrease the tensile deformation by increasing the tensile modulus and thickness of cell. However, the deformation is nonlinear with the tensile modulus and the thickness. The most appropriate value of the tensile modulus and thickness were determined based on the calculations of ANSYS, and it will not only effectively control the tensile deformation of the cell, but also can low cost and simplify the process engineering.
