Study on three-dimensional braided carbon fiber composite for live working on transmission lines

A new type of three-dimensional braided carbon fiber composite was developed by optimizing the carbon fiber composite weaving process which employs carbon fiber yarn connecting the two adjacent carbon layers of left and right 45°two-way cross. The mechanical properties and failure mechanism of the three-dimensional braided carbon fiber composite were characterized by mechanical tests and SEM. The results show that the flexural strength,...
