...and fiber linearity and continuity, fiber architecture (reinforcement structure) can be categorized into four categories: discrete, continuous, planar interlaced (2-D), and fully integrated (3-D). For a discrete fiber system, there is no material continuity and the orientation of fibers is difficult...

...architectures. Based on structural integrity and fiber linearity and continuity, fiber architectures can be classified into four categories: discrete,...interlaced (2-D), and fully integrated (3-D) structures [4]. A discrete fiber system like a fiber mat has the least reinforcement material continuity. The...
