“…While the interpenetration correction step takes care of any potential overlaps in the initial analytical geometry model, mostly independent of the geometry input by the user, the compaction step further ensures consistency of both the global target and intra-yarn FVFs. The frameworks high robustness is a key capability in order to cope with the large manufacturing variability in braided composites, where braiding angles in between 20 • and 70 • are commonly encountered across a typical component [27,28].…”

“…Braided composites contain two major classes: two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) braids. 4 2D braided composites are produced using a device known as a Maypole braider that can be used to produce mainly cylindrical (or tubular) products, but it is also possible to produce flat or axisymmetric structures altering the machine components or the mandrels used during production. 2D braided composites are composed of yarns placed in a biaxial configuration with respect to the longitudinal direction of the braids (i.e.…”

Braiding is an advanced textile manufacturing method that is used to produce two-dimensional and three-dimensional components. Unlike laminated structures, braids have interlaced yarns that form a continuity between layers. This structure allows for improved impact resistance, damage tolerance, and improved through-thickness reinforcement. Despite the numerous advantages of braided composites, braids also have shortcomings. Their highly complex fiber architecture presents challenges in the availability and choice of the strain measuring and characterization techniques. Advanced measurement methods such as optical strain measurement, micro-computed tomography, and in situ strain measurement are required. Optical strain measurement methods such as digital image correlation and high-speed imaging are necessary to accurately measure the complex deformation and failure that braided composites exhibit. X-ray-based micro-computed tomography measurements can provide detailed geometric and morphologic information for braided structures, which is necessary for accurately predicting the mechanical properties of braided structures. Finally, in situ strain measurement methods will provide detailed information on the internal deformation and strain that exists within braided structures. In situ sensors will also allow for in-service health monitoring of braided structures. This paper provides a detailed review of the aforementioned sensing technologies and their relation to the measurement of braided composite structures.
