Effect of fibre bundle structure on stretch forming properties of plain weft-knitted fabric composites. Advanced Composites Letters 8 (4) : 157-161. ScholarBank@NUS Repository.09636935https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/58173Knitted fabrics are known for their excellent stretchability and their flat composites have recently been shown to be easily stretch-formed into thin shells of revolution. In this paper, the stretch-forming properties are being investigated with due attention given to the fibre bundle loop structure. The capability of a plain weft-knitted fabric composite sheet to be stretch-formed is elucidated with reference to the fibre bundle structure.ArticleNOT_IN_WOS
