2.5D fabric reinforced in oblique crossing direction and weaving method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a three-dimensional fabric weaving technology, in particular to an oblique crossing normal reinforced 2.5D fabric and a weaving method thereof.
Background
The 2.5D fabric (layer-by-layer angle interlocking structure fabric) is used as a typical structure of a three-dimensional woven fabric, and the yarns of each system form an integral fabric structure with a certain rule in space through interweaving warp yarns and weft yarns and a layer-by-layer interlocking fabric structure. However, in the 2.5D fabric structure, the warp yarn system has a relatively large bending shape, and when the warp yarn system is subjected to a compression load along the warp yarn direction, the bent warp yarns are more prone to buckling failure, so that the warp-direction compression resistance of the 2.5D fabric reinforced composite material is poor. The Famefacies enhanced 2.5D fabric structure improves the impact resistance and damage tolerance of the textile composite by adding a certain number of yarns throughout the thickness direction of the fabric. The composite material adopting the normal reinforced 2.5D fabric has the characteristics of compact structure, good integrity, excellent mechanical property and the like, can realize the near net shape forming of large-size special-shaped structural members, and has wide application in the fields of aviation, aerospace, energy, traffic, sports and the like.
Chinese patent application CN101208191A proposes various types of three-dimensional woven structures to meet the compactness of fiber reinforced structures. Through the design of the 2.5D angle chain and the derivative structure thereof, the multiple satin weave structure and the multiple plain weave structure meet the requirements of the overall dimension of each part of the special-shaped composite material reinforcement and the overall performance requirement of the composite material. Chinese patent application CN102227525A proposes to design a structural fabric that can have a variable thickness in the direction perpendicular to the warp and weft directions using a multilayer three-dimensional weaving technique to produce a three-dimensional fabric structure. The Chinese patent application CN101529000A proposes a three-dimensional fabric structure adopting a multi-connection multilayer type optimized weaving method, and the designed weaving structure adopts a mode that warp yarns and weft yarns are not connected layer by layer, but are connected in a multilayer type, so that the bending angle of the warp yarns is reduced, and the deformability and the impact resistance of the fabric are improved.
In the traditional normal reinforced 2.5D fabric structure, a normal yarn system and a warp and weft yarn system are perpendicular to the thickness direction of the fabric at an angle of 90 degrees, but when a high-thickness three-dimensional prefabricated body structure is designed and produced, the mechanical property requirements of components cannot be met by the yarn system which is only arranged perpendicular to the thickness direction.
