Braiding Technology and Machinery (2nd Ed.) Principles, Design and Processes Woodhead Publishing Series in Textiles Series

Langue : Anglais

Auteur :

Braiding Technology and Machinery: Principles, Design and Processes, Second Edition reviews the basic principles, design and processes used in braiding, while introducing the latest computational methods and applications. Braided fabrics are made by interlacing yarns or strips of fabric, producing structures for technical textile applications from medical sutures to cables for anchoring ships.

This fully updated second edition explains how to use the latest computer-controlled braiding machines for higher quality and efficiency, and also features added detail with new colour images throughout. Innovative applications in medicine, composites, sport, and filtration are also described, alongside established specialised braiding techniques such as spiral braiding and lace technology.

Part II Braiding machines and mechanics 7. Braiding machine components 8. Carriers for braiding machines 9. Mechanics of the braiding process 10. Carrier mechanics in braiding operations 11. Yarn winding operations in braiding

Part III Specialist braided structures 12. Spiral braiding 13. Square and other types of form braiding 14. Patterning with variable tracks on computer controlled machines 15. Lace braiding

Part IV Computer assisted design (CAD) and other software for braiding 16. Computer assisted design (CAD) software for the design of braided structures 17. Computer assisted design software (CAD) for machine emulation and carrier arrangement checking 18. Calculations in braiding 19. Using MATLAB for calculations in braiding

Yordan Kyosev is the Head of the Chair of Assembly Technology for Textile Products, and Professor at the Institute of Textile Machinery and High-Performance Material Technology at Technische Universitat Dresden, Germany. He is the main developer of the world’s first CAD braiding software packages TexMind Braider and Texmind Braiding Machine Configurator, and provides regular industrial courses and consulting for braiding (www.texmind.com). He was also the main organizer of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Braiding Colloquiums in Möchengladbach (2014, 2016, 2018). His research focuses on advanced modelling and processing methods for high performance textiles, and he is seen as a leading expert in braiding machinery and technology worldwide.
