Design of Multi-layer Weaves

This paper presents a simplified method to describe the multi-layer woven fabric design. Studied on the multi-layer woven fabric construction, a new method for design of multi-layer woven fabric is found, and sectional weave theory is proposed. From the discussion of the simplified description method, it is proven that the new method is more efficient and valid for the representation and design of multi-layer woven fabric and fabric design,. Based on the structure, various stitching can be obtained, so that the many different performs of textile reinforced composite materials are gained. The new method can be presented on computers, so the CAD of multi-layered woven fabric is possible.
