Woven fabric reinforced composite materials are typically applied in plate or shell structures, such as ribs, stiffeners and skins. Products of this type can be manufactured with several processes. A few examples are compression moulding, diaphragm forming, matched metal die forming and Rubber Press Forming (RPF). Shape distortions can occur during manufacturing of composite products. During th...

Rubber-fabric composites are a representative of class anisotropic reinforced composite laminates designed for operation in contact with liquid medium. Each layer the performs specific function printing machines. The rubber is located on surface material and impervious to hydrophilic liquids, but can swell limited extent organic solvents. Layers fabrics provide structural integrity tension laye...

In today's world, structural elements made of composite polymeric materials (CPMs) are widely used in various engineering fields. One the innovative directions using CPMs is creation membranes based on a different set polymers and fabrics. Based results literature analysis, direction studying adhesion strength banner fabric layers was chosen. 
 The purpose this work to build computational ...

A model to predict the effective stiffness of woven fabric composite materials is presented. Taking advantage of the inherent periodicity of woven fabric architecture, periodic microstructure theory is used at the mesoscale for the case of a two-phase heterogeneous material with multiple periodic inclusions. For plain weave fabrics, the representative volume element (RVE) is discretized into fi...

Elastic warp-knitted composite fabrics with far-infrared emissivity and an anion-releasing property were prepared using bamboo charcoal (BC), copper (Cu), and phase-change material (PCM). The functional composite fabric, which was composed of self-made complex yarns with various twisting degrees and material composition, were created using a rotor twister and ring-spinning technique. The fabric...

Flexible piezoelectric PZT/fabric composite material is pliable and tough in nature which is in a lack of traditional PZT patches. It has great application prospect in improving the sensitivity of sensor/actuator made by piezoelectric materials especially when they are used for curved surfaces or complicated conditions. In this paper, glass fiber cloth was adopted as carrier to grow PZT piezoel...

The aim of this chapter is to review different approaches that have been proposed to compute fabric tensors with emphasis on trabecular bone research. Fabric tensors aim at modeling through tensors both anisotropy and orientation of a material with respect to another one. Fabric tensors are widely used in fields such as trabecular bone research, mechanics of materials and geology. These tensors...
