Multiscale experimental and numerical characterisation of textile reinforcements for enhanced nano-interleaved composites Ghent University
The unique combination of light and flexible, but strong structures, makes textile materials well suited for technical engineering applications. Especially, fibre reinforced composites are seeing a tremendous growth for designing light-weight structural components. The fibres, the building blocks of any textile, and their arrangement in the composite (microstructure) determine the obtainable mechanical properties. It is thus of utmost ...
