Abstract:

To promote the integral forming design and sustainable development of weft-knitted biaxial tubular fabric reinforced composite materials, this paper reviewed the weft-knitted biaxial tubular fabrics and their composite materials. The preparation of weft-knitted biaxial tubular fabrics and the mechanical properties of its composite materials were summarized and analyzed, including the features of weft-knitted biaxial fabric, the design of weft-knitted biaxial tubular fabric, biaxial circular knitting machine and its knitting principle, the experimental research of weft-knitted tubular fabric, the research of micro-geometry model and finite element analysis. Based on these and the actual developing situation of weft-knitted biaxial tubular fabric reinforced composite materials, it was proposed that the future research about weft-knitted biaxial tubular fabric reinforced composite materials should take place concerning structural forming design, mechanical properties analysis, and industrial application, in order to develop the engineering weft-knitted biaxial tubular fabric reinforced composite materials.

Key words: knitting, weft-knitted biaxial tubular fabric, composite material, biaxial circular knitting machine, mechanical property, finite element analysis
