    Abstract: The multi-scale method is adopted in damage analysis of plain woven composites. The microscopic Repeated Unit Cell (RUC) model for yarn was studied firstly with appropriate failure criteria, thus elastic and strength  properties  were  obtained.  Then  these  results  were  applied  to  failure   research   in  the mesoscopic-repeated unit cell model for woven composite. The predicted results by the present method are compared with the experimental data and good correlation is observed.
