WEAVING OF 3-DIMENSIONAL FABRICS FOR PREFORM CONSTRUCTION .2. USE OF FLAT CONTINUOUS GLASS FILAMENT YARN

This paper considers the weaving of integrated multi-layer performs by using a continuous filament glass yarn. It employs the same method, a s described in Part I of this paper, to compare the engineering perfor mance of the T-sections against the proportion of through-the-thicknes s reinforcement. It concludes that the amount and construction of the Z-constituent have a significant influence on the performance of the p reform but that the deductions made from the results of the research o n texturised yarns could not be transferred to this continuous filamen t yarn.
