Manufacture of multi-layer woven preformsThis paper reviews current three-dimensional weaving processes and discusses a process developed at the Mars Mission Research Center of North Carolina State University to weave three-dimensional multilayer fabrics. The fabrics may vary in size and complexity from simple panels to T-section or I-section beams to large stiffened panels. Parameters such as fiber orientation, volume fraction of the fiber required in each direction, yarn spacings or density, etc., which determine the physical properties of the composites are discussed.
