Braiding is a highly versatile and cost-effective method of producing structures that has been
successfully used for numerous applications ranging from ropes, composites, biomedical …

The tensile behaviour of braid reinforcement is classically described by the behaviour of
composite elaborated from these reinforcements. Few studies concern the tensile behaviour …

Due to recent progress on wearable robotics, developing high‐performance fabric and
textile actuators to be integrated with various soft electronic devices is urgently needed and …

Geometrical modelling for tubular braids of different structures is studied and a simple
versatile three-dimensional model is proposed after considering the crimp of the braiding …

Braided stents are fabricated at their relaxed dimensions and need to be crimped in order to
fit into the catheter for deployment. Once the covering sheath is removed, the braided stent …

A circular braiding process is adapted to produce three-dimensional shapes by braiding
over a contoured mandrel. The present work deals with the simulation of various braided …

Sutures are the materials primarily used for closing wounds, and their performance is
significantly dependent on their mechanical characteristics. Thus, their tensile property is a …

How Are Textile Fabrics Formed? Principles of Fabric Formation is a treatise on the modern
production systems of woven, knitted, braided, nonwoven, triaxial, multiaxial, and 3D fabrics …

Textiles have been used for clothing purposes since ancient times. However, due to their
functional properties, their importance—as well as their use in various fields such as …

Circular braiding is a manufacturing process for making circular braided fabrics. Relative
sliding of yarns during their interlacing motion introduces friction which limits the density of …
