Abstract:The braided reinforced composite materials show many advantages in electromagnetic protection fields than traditional particle filled composites,while the effective electromagnetic parameters calculation and optimization design of braided reinforced composite materials are not clear at present. The orthogonal braided reinforced composite is taken as the research object, the composite is subdivided into multilayer anisotropic media with single yarn arrayed periodically, and the formulas of effective electromagnetic parameters of each layer are given using effective medium theory. The magnetic shielding composite is chosen to be optimized and the results indicate that the effective permeability of composites increases with the rise of the diameter,the content of fiber yarn, and the permeability of matrix and fiber, but with the decrease of the gap of the fabric.
