Despite the recent increase in composite usage for structural applications, the susceptibility
to delamination failure of these materials is still seen as a big limitation for a more …

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 …

This paper presents a systematic investigation of flexural and torsional properties of biaxial
and triaxial braided composites, with one or more layers, at different braid angles. Braided …

It is the intent of this manuscript to provide a general treatment of braiding: past, present, and
future. A history and evolution of braiding, braiding machinery, and related engineering …

Multi-beamforming is an important requirement for broadband space imaging applications
based on dense aperture arrays (AAs). Usually, the discrete Fourier transform is the …

Two dimensional (2D) tubular braided composites consist of textile fibers imbedded in a
resin matrix. Braid geometry and void content will affect the mechanical behavior of the …

The present paper focuses on geometric and micromechanical modelling of non-orthogonal
structures. Braided structure and sheared woven structures have similar interlacement …

Natural Fiber Textile Composite Engineering sheds light on the area of the natural fiber
textile composites with new research on their applications, the material used, the methods of …

In spite of all innovations in stent design, commonly used metallic stents present several
problems such as corrosion, infection and restenosis, leading to health complications or …

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 …
