Description
Braiding is a very old textile manufacturing technology that traditionally has been used to produce items like ropes, shoe laces, and cables. Recently, braiding has gained attention in the medical, aerospace, transportation, and civil engineering communities, among others, due to its ability to produce structures that can fulfill the explicit deman
Reviews / Votes
"This book is an excellent contribution to the technical application of braided structures. The contents are well laid out and diversified. It features a variety of important topics concerning the structure, manufacture, properties, modeling, and applications of braids. It also includes excellent examples of the use of braided structures for the reinforcement of composite materials. ... The advantage of this book is that it covers the most important topics concerning braiding technology in one single volume. ... It is advised to students, researchers, and manufacturers concerned with braiding technology and its applications, including composite materials reinforcement."-Mario de Araujo, University of Minho, Guimaraes, Portugal
"To the best of my knowledge, braided reinforcements have received little previous coverage. ... This new publication could become the standard reference work for anyone interested in using these much-neglected reinforcement forms for high-performance composites."
-Dr. John Summerscales, CEng, CEnv, CSci, University of Plymouth, UK
