Braiding is a highly versatile and cost-effective method of producing structures that has been
successfully used for numerous applications ranging from ropes, composites, biomedical …

The tensile behaviour of braid reinforcement is classically described by the behaviour of
composite elaborated from these reinforcements. Few studies concern the tensile behaviour …

The manufacturing processes of composite materials are numerous and often complex.
Continuous research into the subject area has made it hugely relevant with new advances …

Circular overbraiding of composite preforms on complex mandrels currently lacks automatic
generation of machine control data. To solve this limitation, an inverse kinematics-based …

Braiding is a very old textile manufacturing technology that traditionally has been used to
produce items like ropes, shoe laces, and cables. Recently, braiding has gained attention in …

An approach to simulate the two-dimensional braiding process using a commercial explicit
finite element software is presented. Preforms with generic shapes are analyzed. A …

Geometrical modelling for tubular braids of different structures is studied and a simple
versatile three-dimensional model is proposed after considering the crimp of the braiding …

This paper provides a critical overview about the state of the art in the area of three-
dimensional modeling of braided structures. It gives a generalized geometrical approach for …

Braiding is not being used as a manufacturing process as much as would be expected
based on its well-known advantages. Fabricating consistent, high-quality braided composite …

Two-dimensional braided composite materials consist of an impregnated and cured braided
fiber structure. The braid angle, which describes the orientation of fibers on the mandrel …
