This study is a systematic effort focused on the development of feasible self-sensing braided
composite rods (BCRs) for structural reinforcement and damage monitoring. In this route …

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 …

This paper reports the first attempt of developing macro-scale auxetic structures based on re-
entrant hexagon design from braided composite materials for civil engineering applications …

Auxetic materials are gaining special interest in technical sectors due to their attractive
mechanical behaviour. This paper reports a systematic investigation on missing rib design …

This paper reports the development of innovative tri-axial braided structures for strain and
damage sensing of geotechnical structures. These innovative braided structures have been …

This study presents the work on mechanical behaviour of braided composite rods. Different
hybrid core reinforced braided composite rods (BCRs) were produced using glass, carbon …
