What is it about?

In aerospace, 3D woven composites are crucial, with most designs sticking to repetitive patterns. However, these can be enhanced by arranging the fibers more strategically. Yet, deciding on the placement of these fibers is quite complex, almost like a massive puzzle. In our study, we refined an approach known as the background vector method, streamlining the process of designing woven components to suit various requirements. This adjustment allows for modifications in the design with ease, even for complex shapes. Our technique is quick and effective for creating woven parts. We demonstrated its efficiency by applying it to various design challenges, showing it can overcome difficult aerospace design issues.
