Microstructure analyses and volume fraction model of 3D 6-directional variable cross-sectional cone-shaped tubular braided fabric

The three-dimensional 6-directional variable cross-sectional cone-shaped tubular braided fabric (6DCTBF) has been applied successfully as the components in aerospace craft. The application of cone-shaped tubular braided fabric requires the densification of a small end to ensure ablation uniformity during composite fabrication. In this paper, in order to meet the size and performance requirements for 6DCTBF, a unique yarn-thinning technique used in the braiding process has developed and explained in detail by first analyzing the fiber bundle movement and distribution in modeling. After the yarn has been thinned, different zones are divided according to the constituting method of the yarn in its unit cell. Geometric models are built for different zones to determine the geometrical dimensions and volume fraction variation range. It has been shown that the theoretical model can accurately describe the 6DCTBF and provide a theoretical basis for the design of its structure and properties.
