Knitted fabrics like a scarf or socks are highly elastic, capable of stretching as much as twice their length, but individual strands of yarn hardly stretch at all. It’s the way those strands form an ...
Knitted fabrics are hierarchically structured materials exhibiting a complex set of structure-property-behavior relations driven by yarn-level interactions. Compared to other materials such as ...
The MAPICC 3D project (2011-2016) realized a process capable of producing net-shape preforms from topology-optimized, high-performance structural 3D thermoplastic textile composites. The final product ...
How can textile structures be developed more quickly, characterized precisely, and tailored to demanding applications – such as medicine, sports, mobility, or construction? The Fraunhofer Institute ...
Researchers at the Institute of Building Structures and Structural Design in Stuttgart, Germany, are developing flexible composite fiber structural assemblies for the Elytra pavilion, a domed ...
