Abstract

This work’s focus is towards exploring the possibilities of weaving select type of 3D reinforcements on the commercially available 2D weaving looms of the textile industry. In this context, two classes of 3D reinforcements were developed using 6K Carbon rovings of 400 Texon an 8 shaft handloom. The first class comprised of weaving single layer profiles wherein, ‘T’and ‘p’ profiles were woven. The second class comprised of weaving planar multilayer (angle interlock structure) samples of two types viz., layer to layer and through-thickness. In this class, a ‘T’ profile was also woven. Weave Design Plan for these structures were developed using the warp(for single layer profiles) and weft ( for angle interlock structures) yarn cross-sections. It has finally been inferred that, woven cloth construction design and 2D weaving technology can be successfully utilized to develop select class of 3D reinforcements for composite applications.
