Effect of braiding parameters on physio-mechanical properties of braided structures

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of braided samples composed of polyester filament yarns simultaneously for variables like braid structure (1/1 and 2/2) and take-up rate on braiding angle, braid diameter, braid fineness, pick count, pitch length, total mass, tensile strength, elongation and bending stiffness. This study indicates how changes in braid pattern and take-up rate affect the mechanical properties of polyester tubular braided structures. The braiding machine's take-up speed directly impacts the braid's formation speed, and it is possible to modify this speed without affecting the carriers' sequential motion. To determine the significance of the difference in results, statistical analysis is performed at each state of observation.
