Abstract: Recent developments of investigation on mechanical properties of two dimensional (2D) braided composites tubes are reviewed at home and abroad, including the experimental study of mechanical properties, the structural geometric model and the numerical simulation research. In the experimental study, the energy absorption performance of 2D braided composites tubes and the effect of braiding angle on the mechanical properties of composites are emphasized. The study of the structural geometrical model focuses mainly on the microcosmic structures and macro-microcosmic structure model. Moreover, the popular modeling methods are also reviewed. In numerical simulation research, the solid model simulation analysis of 2D braided composites based on shaping theory and the orientation of the yarns are introduced. Finally, some problems in present studies are summarized and future investigation trends are proposed.

Key words: two dimensional braided, composite tubes, geometrical model, numerical simulation, mechanical properties
