Özet

Geometrical modelling for tubular braids of different structures is studied and a simple versatile three-dimensional model is proposed after considering the crimp of the braiding yarn together with the tubular curvature of the tubular braid structure. The proposed model is versatile and suitable not only for different braid structures, but also, with the changes in the structural parameters such as braid angle, number of yarns in a set, yarn and mandrel diameter the model is still applicable. Application and 3D drawings of the model for diamond, regular and triaxial braids are given with the aid of Visual Basic and 3DSMax Studio.
