Abstract 3D woven fabric-reinforced composites (3DWFRCs) offer excellent structural
integrity, impact resilience, and strength-to-weight ratios, making them ideal for advanced …

Abstract Tururi (Manicaria saccifera Gaertn.) is a naturally integrated fibrous structure in a
form of sac, which protects the fruits of the Amazon Ubuçu palm tree. The goal of this …

Over the past few decades, there have been an increasing interest in woven preforms as a
reinforcement for composites. The invention of 3D Orthogonal Weaving (3DOW) technology …

This paper presents a geometrical modelling principle for the modelling of yarns at the fibre
level. The woven and the knitted textile structures are built of yarns, which on the other side …

For the present work, we have studied the mesostructural geometry of orthogonal/layer-to-
layer carbon–glass reinforcements woven on a conventional loom. The geometry of such …

The 3D warp interlock carbon fabrics, which have different structural properties, were
produced and their tensile, bending, shear and formability properties were tested in our …

Over the past few decades, ecological concerns resulted in an interest in using natural fibers
such as flax and hemp as a reinforcement in composite materials. However, the inherent …

Over the past few decades there have been an increasing interest in woven preforms as a
reinforcement for composites. Woven preforms not only offer ease of handling and structure …

This chapter deals with new class of 3D woven structures, which is also known as non-crimp
preform because the warp and weft yarns are not interlaced. The structure is formed from …

Fiber-reinforced composites are being utilized in a variety of applications, including ballistic
protection, aerospace, and vehicles. When compared to prepreg composites, woven …
