Abstract

Braiding Correlation Cross sections Mathematical models Polymers Process parameters Unit cell Yarns
The effect of braid construction parameters on yarn cross-sectional shape is presented in this paper. The location of the yarn within the braid unit cell is quantified by a compaction factor. A range of braided fabrics were produced and optically measured for actual yarn cross-sectional shape. A comparison of the theoretical and experimental values shows good correlation. Design curves can be produced with the developed model to allow selection of appropriate braid process parameter to create yarns with desired cross-sectional geometries.
