The Effect of Internal Structural Changes on the Properties of Multi-Layer Fabrics for Composite Reinforcement
Source abstract
Abstract
This paper considers the factors involved in the weaving of interlinked multi-layer fabrics. It details the methods employed to form the interlinking structure in an integrated 4-layer reinforcement, why these particular methods were chosen and how the information can be used to produce similar interlinked reinforcements with different proportions of yarn in the through-the-thickness (Z) direction. Test results for the fabrics are enumerated.
