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 demands imposed by these technical sectors.

Braided Structures and Composites: Production, Properties, Mechanics, and Technical Applications provides a single source of cutting-edge information on braiding and its applications. Featuring chapters authored by leading experts in their respective fields, this first-of-its-kind book:

  • Explains the basic principles of braiding technology for industrial textiles, composites, and products
  • Identifies the key parameters that influence the braiding process and its produced structures
  • Shows how to control these parameters to achieve the desired material characteristics
  • Discusses braided structure modeling and analysis techniques and software tools
  • Describes various application requirements and their design solutions

Braided Structures and Composites: Production, Properties, Mechanics, and Technical Applications supplies a critical understanding of braiding from concept to product design and application. This book is vital to the development of multifunctional products with highly specific features using braiding technology.

Industry Reviews

"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
