Comparison of mechanical properties of woven carbon reinforcements

Important groups of laminates are long fibre reinforced composites. Carbon reinforced plastics are used in engineering and construction. They have low weight and very good mechanical properties. The properties of the laminate depend on the method of depositing the fibres in the reinforcement and processing the initial longitudinal textiles. Carbon fabrics are the most commonly used type of reinforcement for laminates. The weaving technology provides a variety of interlacing variations. New technology of production and modification of usually used tows bring significant improvement of their mechanical properties. The article described comparison mechanical properties of three woven fabric from carbon fibres according to produce technology original tows. In parallel, mathematical models of fabrics were created and the results were compared with the results of the experiment.
