Definitions

  • Braided textile structures are often embedded in a resin matrix to form a final composite article and thereby act as reinforcement to the final composite article and impart the final composite article with certain predetermined and possibly varying tensile strengths in different directions.
  • Braided biaxial structures are typically comprised of two groups of tows of material laid into the structure in an interleaving pattern wherein one group of tows is aligned along an oblique direction relative to the longitudinal direction of the structure and the other group of tows is aligned along an opposing oblique direction.
  • the opposing oblique directions and the longitudinal direction are principal directions in the textile architecture.
  • Braided textile structures are commonly manufactured in generally cylindrical forms, such as sleeves, or flat forms, such as tapes.
  • longitudinal direction lies along the sleeve axis and the opposing oblique directions form opposing helices wrapping around the longitudinal direction.
  • tape form the tows aligned along one oblique direction wrap around the edge of the tape and the tow direction changes to the opposing oblique direction until the wrapping around the opposing edge of the tape.
  • a characteristic of a braided biaxial structure is that it generally elongates in the longitudinal direction and contracts in the transverse direction when subjected to longitudinal forces or the longitudinal components of overall forces generally. Conversely, the structure generally contracts in the longitudinal direction and expands in the transverse direction when subjected to transverse forces or the transverse components of overall forces generally.
  • the change in macroscopic geometry is generally due to the interconnectedness of the interleaved groups of tows.
  • the corresponding geometric change within the structure may be characterized by variations in the angles between tows lying in oblique and longitudinal directions.
  • some braided biaxial sleeves can envelop and conform to bodies of varying cross section.
  • the conformability and continuity of these sleeve structures around a body of varying cross section provides for placement of tow materials along paths may correspond to varying principal directions of the enveloped body in a predetermined manner.
  • some braided biaxial tapes may generally have less utility in this regard, as compared to some braided biaxial sleeves, due to the structural discontinuity represented by the edges of the tape.
  • this conformability characteristic can be disadvantageous in other applications, for example, when it is desired to maintain the orientation of the oblique directions within a narrow tolerance range within regions of the final composite article or across the entire article as a whole.
  • An example of one such application is large aerospace structures including ⁇ 45 degree braided biaxial structure reinforcements in a resin matrix.
  • test structures generally include coupons with predetermined dimensions and structure subjected to load, environmental and life tests to develop a database of material properties.
  • the material properties of these structures are dependent on many factors and composite structure designers must take care in ensuring that final composite structures are similar enough to the test coupon structures that the materials properties in the database can be used with some level of confidence.
  • triaxial braided structures wherein the structure is comprised of two tows aligned along opposing oblique directions and a third tow aligned along the longitudinal direction, may be preferred in certain applications as the longitudinal tows tend to lock the structure, restricting the amount of deformation, and ensure that the structure deployed in the final composite article will closely approximate the structure of the test coupons.
  • a triaxial structure may not be optimum due to the additional material laid in the longitudinal direction, particularly in applications where the longitudinal material provides little to no additional desired load carrying capability.
  • a biaxial structure with low deformability characteristics may be preferred to a triaxial structure for some of these types of parts.
  • a biaxial structure with limited, predictable deformability may be preferable for these parts when a limited amount of drapability is required.
  • One example of a braided biaxial structure for some applications includes tows of carbon or other high strength fiber aligned along the opposing oblique directions and thermoplastic and lower strength fibers, such as glass fibers, aligned along the longitudinal direction.
  • the glass material provides enough tensile strength to facilitate manufacture of the braided structure without undue distortion.
  • the thermoplastic material may be melted, or semi-melted, by application of heat and allowed to cool thereby limiting the deformability of the braided structure.
  • Development of materials properties data relevant to said structures is costly and time-consuming and few generally available materials properties data are available. Therefore, these braided structures, though generally not expected to deviate in properties from a biaxial structure of similar material and geometric architecture, may not be suitable for some applications. Therefore, there is a need for a true biaxial structure that is stabilized such that distortion of the braid is limited to a predetermined range allowing for use of available materials properties data without incurring additional testing.
  • the present subject matter relates to stabilized braided biaxial structures manufactured as flat broad goods.
  • the present subject matter also relates to a method of manufacture of these structures.
  • a braided biaxial structure generally supplied as a broad good, includes interleaved tows of material in opposing oblique directions and further includes a matrix soluble thermoplastic epoxy coating on at least one side of the structure.
  • a method of manufacture includes a step where an intermediate braided structure is manufactured in a conventional sleeve form.
  • the structure of the intermediate braided structure may be generally biaxial and include at least one triaxial region.
  • the triaxial region may be formed from thermoplastic tow materials laid in the longitudinal direction.
  • the triaxial region may further include materials laid in the longitudinal direction that are generally of lower strength, and possibly also lower cost, as compared to the tow materials in the oblique directions. It is expected that the materials will carry tensile forces induced by the manufacturing apparatus within the braided structure and prevent distortion of the biaxial regions of the structure.
  • a method of manufacture may include a step where heat is applied to a triaxial region of a structure to affect melting of longitudinal thermoplastic fibers thereby limiting distortion of a biaxial region of the structure during subsequent manufacturing steps.
  • a method of manufacture may include a step where a matrix soluble thermoplastic epoxy coating is applied to at least one side of a broad good and heated to solidify the coating.
  • the duration and intensity of heat may be controlled so as to prevent cure of the coating and retain the coating as matrix soluble for when a braided biaxial structure is deployed as reinforcement in a composite article.
  • a method of manufacture may include a step to trim away a triaxial region or regions of a structure resulting in a stabilized braided biaxial structure that may withstand tensile forces applied during deployment as reinforcement in a composite article without distortion.
