Abstract:

In order to get an effective and fast design method for multi-layer woven fabrics, this paper investigated the weave and structure of multi-layer woven fabrics. The rule of yarn interweaving and the related expression method was found. The sectional weave was drawn firstly using this method, and then the weave diagram of the multi-layer woven fabric could be drawn directly. Based on the weave diagram, various bindings were easily affected, obtaining textile reinforced composite preforms with different properties with less time and hdesignigher accuracy. This method is suitable for computer operation, thus providing convenience for CAD design for multi-layer woven fabrics.
