Comparison of tensile properties of weft-knit 1×1 rib glass/epoxy composites with a different location of layers

Determination of electromagnetic shielding performance of hybrid yarn knitted fabrics with anechoic chamber method

“…In these studies coaxial transmission line tester was used as the EMSE test method; however, this test method is suitable for symmetric/isotropic samples and test results are reported to be sensitive against the geometry and orientation of the samples 14,15 while knitted structures are already proved to be anisotropic. [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] In all of these studies, therefore, knitted fabrics have been examined but without regard for the effect of the anisotropy of the structure, and overall evaluation of the effect of the knitted structures has been expressed mainly relating to the amount of the conductive filler independently of the fiber orientation. Thus the knit structure could be indicated to be effective but the reasons and the mechanism could not be expressed.…”

Tensile properties of multilayer-connected biaxial weft knitted fabric reinforced composites for carbon fibers

“…However, for traditional knitted composites, Tercan and Muralidhar [5,26] considered that the stress-strain curve of knitted composites exhibit a linear behavior at the initial stage of load and then form a knee, the curve shape is different from Fig. 4.…”

“…In addition, the composites reinforced with MBWK fabric exhibit strong capacity for bearing external load and lower production costs and production cycle short, high property/cost ratio, etc. [4,5]. For these reasons, the MBWK fabrics reinforced composites are widely used in the field of pilot helmets, wing cover and car body manufacturing.…”

Bending properties of the multilayer‐connected biaxial weft knitted fabrics‐reinforced composites made with carbon fibers

“…The excellent mechanical properties, lower production costs, short production cycle and high property/cost ratio etc. of the MBWK fabrics‐reinforced composites make them attractive for light‐weight applications, particularly in the aviation industry, pilot helmets application, automobile industry, and wind turbine application . At present, there have been many studies focusing on formability performance of the MBWK fabrics, however, the limits are the basic researches for the mechanical properties of the MBWK fabrics‐reinforced composites, particularly the bending properties.…”
