This book addresses the manufacturing techniques, advantages, main applications, design methodologies and other critical issues of 3-D textile reinforced composite materials, used in applications where structural behavior and weight are critical. The author explores every aspect of this highly-competitive family of materials -- from macromechanical analysis and the mechanical modeling, to braided structures, resin impregnation and prediction of fabric, and the use of 3-D textile reinforcements in the transportation industry.
