Algorithm Design of Four-Step Three-Dimensional Braided Composite Structures in Matlab Environment

Abstract:

For solving the problem of the geometric simulation of 3D braided composites, taking four-step rectangular 3D braided fabrics as an example, and based on the analysis of yarn moving regulation, the mathematical models between the braiding technique parameters and the geometric structures is established. By taking UG as the 3D display platform and MATLAB as the control core, 3D geometric simulation of the pre-modeling entity is realized. Such a simulation enables the users to observe the braid spatial structure and braiding moving process intuitively and modify them dynamically on the Internet. With this method, the design quality and efficiency of products will be raised remarkably.
