Introduction Woven fabric reinforced composite materials manufactured using high performance fibre, offers the highest potential for the development of high performance structural components especially for aerospace and automotive, renewable energy and civil construction application. High performance structural composite materials utilizes 2D woven 3D shaped textile fabric structure designed by manipulating high performance fibres such as Carbon, Glass, Aramids and combination thereof, put together into a near-net shape essentially termed as “Preforms” as illustrated in figure 1. The design of textile composites requires a systematic approach that integrates micro-structural design, preform fabrication and composite processing to produce load-bearing structural components with …
