Woven reinforcements for composites
D. Coupé, Snecma Propulsion Solide, France
Abstract:
Weaving technology, well known for several millennia, is fundamental to composite reinforcements. This chapter gives an overview of processes for the manufacture of woven fabrics, from basic ones used in textile applications to recent developments in the field. Definitions and applications of bi-dimensional (2D) and tri-dimensional (3D) fabrics, and of special woven shapes, are discussed. A projection of the future of weaving technologies in composite applications is made.
Key words:
