To avoid these problems, the size of a damaged zone can be selected with respect to typical features of textile architecture. We suggest defragmenting the yam along its midline into short segments where the fibre orientation can be assumed constant — Figure 2.7. 

We consider damage as a measure of property degradation. The complexity of textile architectures does not allow making a flawless choice of degradation scheme. Analytical and numerical models developed for the flat laminates clearly show that at a given... 

As an example. Figures 5.32-5.34 show the soiling and cleaning behaviour of standard materials for textile architecture PVC-coated PET fabric, PTFE-coated glass fabric and silicone-coated glass fabric. Before and after...

The minimal weight, flexibility and portability of textile structures makes them ideally suited for use in exhibition and trade fair stands (Fig.7.16). According to the material manufacturer Ferrari (2009), the advantages of interior textile architecture are ...

Increasingly textile architecture is becoming progressively of a feature as permanent or semi-permanent constructions. Tents, such as those used by the military and campers, are the best known textile constructions, as are sun shelter, but currently big textile constructions are used extensively for exhibition halls, sports complexes and leisure and recreation centers. Although all these structures provide protection from the weather, including exposure to the sun, but solar concept offers an additional precious use for providing power. Many of these large textile architectural... 

Tissue engineering involves two major steps the first step is to design and construct a textile architecture that can function as an anchor skeleton in which seeded cells are enabled to start growing in vitro. The second step is to implant the artificial... 

The textile architecture made of the braided commingled yams were heated and pressed in order to melt the PP matrix and form the composite stmcture with G reinforcement. The consolidation process greatly influences the composite performance [37] but is... 

B irany et al [37,60] produced PP-based SPCs using highly oriented fibers in different textile architectures as reinforcement and PP fibers of lower orientation in the same textile assemblies as matrix-giving constituent. Their consolidation occurred by hot pressing. 

Even the fabric used to construct a small tent is enough to provide a few hundred watts. In addition to textile architecture, panels made from robust solar textile fabrics could be positioned on the roofs of existing buildings. Compared to conventional and improper solar panels for roof structures lightweight and flexible solar textile panels is able to tolerate load-bearing weight without shattering.

NCF is the candidate textile architecture for the incorporation of optical sensor fibres because of the absence of crimp in the fibres, which reduces the risk of micro-bending of the optical fibre. This would create losses in the fibres and would endanger their function. Another advantage with respect to conventional woven stmc-tures is that several layers can be stitched together, including the layer oriented at 0°, where the optical sensor fibres can be placed, and the fabric can be made as thick as desired for the application, so that one single fabric is sufficient. Also, the stitch can be designed to obtain a stable fabric, even with open stmctures. 

D textiles are characterized by having neither a yarn nor a textile architecture in more than two directions. The 3-D textiles are characterized by having either a yarn or a textile architecture in three dimensions. This definition is independent of the production process (one- or multistep). 

Textile architecture Geometry of the textile. A textile architecture is three-dimensional if the textile structure forms or surrounds a volume independent of the number of yarn systems and the yarn architecture. 

Near-net-shape Textile architecture that deviates only slightly from the final product. This term is often used to describe reinforcement structures for composites.
