Influence of reinforcement architecture on static and dynamic mechanical properties of flax/epoxy composites for structural applications

Weave architecture of the reinforcement in polymeric composite structures affects macroscopic mechanical properties of the developed composites significantly along with many other factors. In present article, nine different but systematic weave architectures were obtained by changing the number of simultaneous yarns moving in warp and weft direction of flax (Linum usitatissimum) woven fabric. Static and dynamic mechanical properties (Tensile,...
