Weft-knitted fabrics offer an excellent formability into complex shapes for composite application. In biaxial weft-knitted fabric, additional yarns are inserted in the warp (wale-wise) and weft (course-wise) directions as a reinforcement. Due to these straight yarns, mechanical properties of such better than those unreinforced fabrics. The forming process flat 3D preforms is challenging requires numerical simulation. this paper, behavior simulated by means macro- meso-scale finite element...
The use of thermoplastic components with a complex three-dimensional (3D) shape, manufactured efficiently thermo-presses, has been increased steadily. Flat knitting technology using reinforcing hybrid yarns in the horizontal and vertical direction is especially suited for producing near-net-shape or fully-fashion multilayer weft knitted fabrics – MLGs (abbreviated from German word Mehrlagengestrick, meaning fabric). other advantages manufacturing such MLGs, flat technology, are reduced waste...
Shape memory alloys (SMA) are a promising material class for active lightweight structure applications with movement functionality. Due to their high activation energy potential and good processability in wire shape, they well suited application actively deformable, fibre-reinforced composite structures. In order generate large deflections from the limited deformation of SMA, detailed analysis mechanisms is required. this work, bionic approach pursued, investigating characteristics...
Shell-rib structures made of textile-reinforced composites are used in a wide range applications to increase bending, buckling and torsional stiffness.
