Abstract
A plurality of triaxial weaves particularly suitable for reinforcement in composite materials, for conformability to curved surfaces, and for inclusion of high modulus fibers. Each includes relatively unstabilized yarn courses, and each is weavable on a known machine.
Claims15
A pliable, triaxial fabric comprising at least three sets of interwoven, angularly intersecting parallel yarn courses, at least one of said sets including at least one unstabilized yarn course substantially free of interwoven relationships with intersecting yarn courses, the remaining yarn courses being substantially interwoven with intersecting yarn courses, said fabric being weavable on a conventional, bi-plain triaxial fabric-forming machine.
