Subject field(s)

CONT

A unidirectional(UD) fabric is one in which the majority of fibres run in one direction only... the unidirectional designation only applies to those fabrics with more than 90% of the fibre weight in one direction. Unidirectionals usually have their primary fibres in the 0° direction(along the roll-a warp UD) but can also have them at 90° to the roll length(a weft UD)... True unidirectional fabrics offer the ability to place fibre in the component exactly where it is required... As well as this, UD fibres are straight and uncrimped.

CONT

Fibres. Continuous filament heavy tow of carbon fibres ... for pultrusion, filament winding and UD fabrics, knitted or woven.

uni-directional fabric: term standardized by ISO.

English

Subject field(s)
  • General Mechanics (Physics)
  • Structural Testing (Materials)
DEF

Having dissimilar elastic properties, such as those of timber, in two mutually perpendicular directions.

CONT

Geotextiles very often have two principal directions, which are at right angles to each other. With woven fabrics these are known as the warp and the weft, with non-woven fabrics the machine direction and the cross direction... Mostly the fabric shows symmetry with respect to these two principal directions, at least for a good approximation. This means that the properties of a fabric in a direction which makes an angle [theta] with one of the principal directions are equal to those in a direction at an angle of-[theta] to the same principal direction. Then the fabric is at all points so-called planar orthotropic...

CONT

Un matériau est dit orthotrope s'il a deux plans de symétrie de comportement mécanique, il y a donc trois axes d'orthotropies. Dans ce cas il y a 9 constantes mécaniques pour définir la loi de comportement.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Textile Weaving (Textile Industries)
CONT

Warp and weft yarns lie to a certain extent in a wavy form in a fabric. There is, therefore, a difference in length between straightened yarns and the yarns in the wavy form in the fabric, both in warp and weft direction. In order to be able to produce the fabric required, information is needed for predicting the length, width and mass per unit area of the fabric. This difference in length between the yarn and the fabric is usually referred to as crimp, a parameter which is significant for the structure of the fabric and also for the pore shape and size. When the fabric is loaded there is often a change in the ratio of the crimp of the warp and weft system. This change is referred to as crimp interchange. Crimp affects the mechanical properties of the fabric.

DEF

Différence entre la longueur d'un fil (de chaîne ou de trame) extrait d'un tissu et la longueur que ce même fil occupait dans le tissu; l'embuvage s'exprime en pourcentage de la longueur occupée par le fil dans le tissu.

DEF

Raccourcissement des fils de la chaîne par le tissage, occasionné par les entrecroisements de la chaîne avec la trame.

OBS

L'embuvage s'exprime, en pourcentage, par le rapport de la perte de longueur des fils de la chaîne à la longueur du tissu, et varie pour les tissus plats courants, de 5 à 15 %. Cependant, il peut atteindre des valeurs considérables dans le tissage de certains articles (velours par chaîne, peluche, tissu-éponge, etc.).
