UR - https://www.unicat.be/uniCat?func=search&query=sysid:131776975 AB - 3-D textile reinforced composite materials are obtained by applying highly productive textile technologies in the manufacture of fibre preforms. The damage tolerance and impact resistance are increased as the trend to delamination is drastically diminished. This is because of the existence of reinforcements in the thickness direction. This book describes the manufacturing processes, highlights the advantages, identifies the main applications, analyses the methods for prediction of mechanical properties and examines the key technical aspects of 3-D textile reinforced composite materials.
