Improving the stiffness of unidirectionally oriented weft-knitted structures for polymer matrix composite reinforcement
The use of weft-knitted structures in composite reinforcements is limited due to their poor mechanical properties. The tensile behaviour of weft-knitted fabrics is strongly restricted by its loop formation. When this type of structure is used as reinforcement, the mechanical properties of the compos...
