An Overview of Composite Fabrics
Weaved composite fabric is a typical example of multiscale material, with a nonlinear tensor that describes its mechanical behavior. Weaved composites experience small membrane extension along yarn directions and large angular variation between warp and weft yarns. This anisotropy results in significantly anisotropic material behavior. The effective elastic properties are highly dependent on fiber orientation and exhibit pronounced material nonlinearity.
The effects of kinematic and material nonlinearity are a key to the overall stiffness of composite fabric. The effects of kinematic and material nonlinearity are determined through discrete summation of fibres in the fabric. The stiffness of the composite fabric is not based on its polymerized matrix but rather on its overall surface stiffness. Its kinematic behavior is also nonlinear.
The lamination process for composite fabrics can be accomplished in one of four ways. In this paper, we discuss the various methods of lamination and provide an overview of each. Vacuum bagging, pressure molds, and overlay methods are common methods. Hybrid methods are also used. Depending on the materials and the application, the lamination process may be performed with one or more of the methods discussed above. When using an overlay method, it is important to ensure that the laminating process does not damage the fibers.
The properties of woven fabric composites depend on the fibers used. These fibers can be carbon or fiberglass. The weaving process also affects the fabric's characteristics. Some fabrics can be unidirectional or multidirectional, depending on their composition and weave pattern. Woven fabric composites are typically considered semi-finished products. They are often used in the fabrication of parts of engineering structures. A few advanced diamond-like carbon-coated polymer composites have been reported to improve the surface hydrophobicity and wear resistance.
Dyneema Composite Fabric is a lightweight laminate fabric made with ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). Its lightweight and tear-resistant properties make it ideal for use in a variety of high-impact applications, such as tents and tarps. Using it is easy, convenient, and environmentally friendly.
Another important application for composite fabric is in the aerospace industry. The material can effectively protect from chemical and biological threats. Recent research indicates that the composites can be used in aircraft and helicopter hulls. But this is only a beginning. Further research is needed to understand the full potential of the new materials for protective clothing. These materials are the perfect solution to many challenges and threats in our society. The research group from Northwestern University is developing a versatile and highly efficient composite fabric.
A common composite material is a combination of polymers and fibres. Its name is "resin solution" and it is available in many varieties. Most common polymers include polyester, vinyl ester, and epoxy, but are not limited to these. Generally, the polymer matrix contains fibres and ground minerals. Various methods reduce the resin content in composite materials. Vacuum infusion, for example, results in 40% resin and 60 percent fibre.
