Abstract
Forming of textile composites is a newly developed fabrication technique which can handle complex geometry with relatively high productivity. The behaviour of textile preforms in the forming process is different from that of metallic materials. In addition to the material properties and part geometry parameters, fibre architecture plays a substantial role in determining the performance of textile preforms. In order to evaluate the formability of various textile fabric preforms, experiments characterizing the deformation behaviour of textile preforms were conducted. These tests included in-plane tension, transverse compression, in-plane shear and out-of-plane bending. Fabric preforms used in the study were plain weave, five-harness satin, eight-harness satin and angle-lock interweave. The deformation behaviour of these textile fabric preforms is directional, and strongly dependent on the fibre distribution within the fabric. Therefore fibre architecture is the dominant parameter in determining the deformation behaviour of preforms. Experimental results are useful in the evaluation of formability of textile preforms in forming processes.
