MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF SQUARE BRAIDED FABRIC

摘要

Cyclic compression test was performed on square braided fabric and the effects of the type of fiber bundle were examined for aramid and glass square braided fabrics. Moreover, the strength of the fiber bundles from the square braided fabric after cyclic compression loading was investigated with tensile testing of fiber bundles. It was found that the strength of the glass fiber bundle was decreased with the increase of compression cycle, whereas the strength of aramid fiber bundle was not decreased. The decrease in strength of glass fiber bundle caused an increase in cumulative deformation with compression cycle.
