Overview of Necessary Development Steps for the Realization of Woven Cellular Structures for Adaptive Composites

Author(s):

Cornelia Sennewald, Michael Vorhof, Gerald Hoffmann and Chokri Cherif

Flexible adaptive structures made from fiber-reinforced plastic composites (FRP) with defined stiffness and flexibility have repeatedly aroused the interest of international research groups in the past. The motivation for the development of such structures is to increase efficiency, save weight, extend the existing limits of
structure and tool design and integrate functions. One approach to avoid the contradiction of implementing structural flexibility on the one hand and stiffness, on the other hand, are pressure-actuated cellular structures (PACS), which have so far only been investigated theoretically. Weaving technology offers outstanding approaches to the implementation of such complex 3D geometries. However, there is a lack of methods for the form... view more»
