STUDY ON FIBER TOWS' CROSS-SECTION IN 3-D BRAIDED COMPOSITES
-
Abstract
A computer image analysis technique is used to study the fiber tows' cross-section (FTC) in 3-D braided composites. The results indicate that FTC in the center, side and corner of 3-D braided composites is different. The changing period of cross section areas is related to the pitch length.
