The main goal of this research is to extract the full mechanical properties of stitch biax and triax composite materials which are necessary for finite element analysis, based on limited available experimental data and without performing full static characterization tests. Utilized experimental data are limited to elastic modulus of two 0^o and 45^o directions. Using presented technique and aforementioned data, mechanical properties of unidirectional fabrics of biax and triax are obtained and consequently mechanical properties of biax and triax composites are calculated. Evaluation of the results proved proper performance of the technique in this research.
