Design optimisation of 3D woven reinforcements with geometric features

3D weaving technology enables the manufacturing of advanced near net-shape profiles, through incorporating geometric features such as bifurcations, and varying cross-sections into the preform, for use as reinforcements in composite materials. Their design space is very large due to a wide range of w...
