Abstract:This paper investigates the quasi-static mechanical properties and damage behavior of flexible composites prepared from high-performance glass fiber-based multi-axial warp knitted fabrics as reinforcement and high tenacity environmentally friendly thermoplastic polyurethane as a matrix. The composites were produced by attaching thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) to the top and bottom of the fabric using a vulcanization machine, followed by hot-pressing for different temperatures and time settings. Moreover, the … Show more
