Woven reinforcement

Thickeners, fillers, and thixotropic agents are also commonly used to control flow and the bond line s thickness within a joint. Scrims, carriers, and woven reinforcements are other methods commonly used to control bond line thickness.

For random mat non-woven reinforcements, permeability is isotropic in-plane while, for other textile structures, the permeability will be different in different directions, depending upon the nature of the textile structure (number and size of tows, warp and weft densities etc.). This differential permeability will result in complex flow patterns in the tool, making flow prediction even more important, although the use of D Arcy s equation then becomes an over-simplification. 

It is important to note that the uniaxial loading of an off-axis plate generates a local (inherent) multiaxial stress state. It is therefore worth mentioning the investigations by Kawai and coworkers for the description of the off-axis fatigue behavior of UD and woven reinforced laminates [61,71,72] and their fatigue damage mechanics model [61]. The model is based on the nondimensional effective stress concept, which is the square root of the Tsai—Hill polynomial. 

Woven reinforcement material constructed is by interlacing fibers, yarns, or filaments to form such fabric patterns as basket, plain, harness, satin, leno weaves, scrim, etc. These different weaving patterns are used to provide different processing and/or directional properties. There are filling threads that represent threads in the so-called machine direction warp threads represent those in the transverse direction or at 90° to the filling threads.

The fatigue behaviour is an important parameter to investigate for composites with a textile reinforcement structure. Warp knitted, braided and woven reinforcements will find increasing attention in future.

For structural applications, pure silica fibers are pulled from high purity silica rods as shown in Figure 3, top right. Gas flame or electrical furnaces are used to soften and melt the ends of the preform rods sufficiently for drawing. Each individual silica filament obtained in this downdrawing process has a diameter of 9 pirn, and yarns and/or rovings with up to 4800 filaments are then made available to the trade, where they are used either as woven reinforcement fabrics, or as yams, rovings, and threads for various specialty uses.
