Abstract: | High strength fabrics are perfect materials for use in automotive and aerospace systems, where high performance and light weight structures are demanded. Mechanical characterization under constant loading is of great importance for these materials. The purpose of this study is to analyze the tensile properties of Basalt and Glass-woven structures at different pick density, weave design, stitch distance, and number of layers. For this purpose, single and double layerwoven fabric structures have been prepared using Basalt and Glass yarns on sample weaving loom. Their uniaxial testing has been performed to analyze their tensile curves. Analysis of variance showed the statistical significance of material, pick density, direction of applied load, weave, and stitching in strength of fabric, while the effect of stitch distance was insignificant. |
