Abstract

A novel 3D braided material was found based on the traditional 3D orthogonal woven process. The mesostructure of novel 3D braided material is similar to the 3D orthogonal woven material, but only coincide in the Z-direction. The processing technique is easy to operate in automatic process. The representative volume unit has been proposed to establish geometric model. The fiber volume fraction of novel 3D braided material is analyzed and its value is higher than the traditional 3D orthogonal woven material ones. The experimental results show that the braided process of the imperfect orthogonal 3D braided material is rational and feasible.
