Experimental results are required to verify the simulation results obtained by the homogenisation procedure of a biaxial weftknitted fabric reinforced composite with the Binary Model [1]. Tensile, bending and shear tests were performed to investigate and validate the elastic macro‐mechanical behaviour of the composite material. Beside other methods an optical whole‐field measuring system was used to estimate the deformation in all tests. Additionally, natural frequencies and the appropriate mode shapes of plates were used to get the elements of the compliance matrix. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
