description Woven composite based on natural fiber increasingly used for many applications in industries because of their advantages such as low cost, low weight, less damage to processing equipment, improved surface finish, good relative mechanical properties and renewable resources, but there are some problems as cost and protracted development period to perform reliability evaluation by experimental with real scale. Predictive modeling technique is used to minimize the need for physical testing, shorten design timescales and provide optimized designs. Mechanical properties of woven fabrics for technical textile depend on a) type of raw materials b) type and count of warp and weft yarns c) yarn density and d) the type of weave structure. The effect of fabric architecture to the mechanical properties is investigated. The optimum fabric structure is crucial due to the combination of difference of yarn size and weave pattern are observed.
