A composite fabric is a material that has two or more constituent materials with dissimilar properties that are combined to produce a single material. This type of material is used for a variety of applications. Its strength, flexibility, and durability are all enhanced by the fusion of the two materials. In addition, the material can be fabricated into any shape and size.
This material combines the flexibility of a textile with the strength of a composite. Its viscoelastic properties and kinematic behavior ensure that it is not susceptible to inter-yarn sliding. It also features low compressive stiffness compared to the in-plane membrane stiffness. Its cross connexion between warp and weft fibres also allows for efficient delineation of fibre reorientation. Nevertheless, the lack of stiffness is a potential problem when simulating forming processes.
One method used to produce composite fabrics is joining two materials with an adhesive. The first commercial laminates were waistbands and collars. These were created by sandwiching two pieces of fabric and applying a hot melt adhesive to the fabric. The lamination process is carried out on a calender, which is the simplest form of a lamination machine. However, modern lamination machines are much more sophisticated.
Another application for this material is in the production of steering wheels. This technique involves the use of Dyneema (r) fibers and carbon fibers in a weft-warp textile. This fabric is then soaked with a solution of epoxy resin. This method reduces the technological complexity of producing the material and the risk of damaging Dyneema (r) fibers through overheating. Moreover, it also reduces the risk of developing defects in the resin used in the finished product.
To develop a model of woven composite fabric, researchers have derived two important assumptions. First, the tensile-shear behavior of the material is assumed to be decoupled when the shear angle is small. The second assumption is that the tensile and shear behavior of the fiber yarns are related to the degree of gap closing due to shearing.
This material has excellent draping properties. This is due to the fact that it has weak shear stiffness and large variations of warp and weft angles. Moreover, a qualitative comparison shows that the synthetic material can be used as a part of an engineering structure. In the future, the method may be used for more advanced clothing CAD systems.
Pre-impregnated composite fabrics give engineers greater flexibility in the design and manufacture process of composite parts. The structural properties of these parts are optimized through the use of a number of parameters that affect their global behavior. Moreover, the ply shapes can be defined in advance. In addition, the engineers can also optimize the orientation of the material before manufacturing.
The fatigue damage development of woven fabric composites is highly dependent on the direction of loading. In the warp or weft direction, the fibers are oriented parallel to the load direction, whereas in the bias direction, the fibers are oriented off-axis. This bias effect contributes to the lower ductility of knitted fabric composites. Additionally, the hysteresis heating of knitted composite fabrics is lower than that of woven fabric composites.
