    International audience3D warp interlock weaving allows to realize thicker preform for composites materials. Nevertheless, this technology is not widely used with natural fibres. This study demonstrates the feasibility of 3D warp interlock weaving with natural fibres, and the influence of the number of layers on structural and mechanical properties of this fabric. Thanks to the characterization results, structural parameters as the weft density, the thickness or the areal density have been found correlated to the number of layers. Mechanical parameters are also studied and explained thanks to structural parameters.Le tissage 3D interlock chaine permet de réaliser des préformes épaisses pour matériaux composites. Or, cette technologie est très peu employée pour des renforts à base de fibres naturelles. Cette étude démontre à la fois la faisabilité du tissage 3D interlock chaine pour les fibres naturelles et s'intéresse à l'influence du nombre de couches sur les propriétés structurelles et mécaniques. À partir de rovings de lin 1000 Tex, cinq tissus 3D interlock chaine, dérivée de la toile, ont été tissés. Suite à la chaine de caractérisation mise en place, de nombreux paramètres structuraux tels que la densité trame, l'épaisseur ou la masse surfacique sont proportionnels au nombre de couches de la structure tissée 3D interlock chaine. Le comportement en traction uni-axiale de ces structures sèches est également étudié via les paramètres structuraux

    Innovative sea surface monitoring with GNSS-REflectometry aboard ISS: overview and recent results from GEROS-ISS

    Get PDF
    GEROS-ISS (GEROS hereafter) stands for GNSS REflectometry, Radio Occultation and Scatterometry onboard the International Space Station. It is a scientific experiment, proposed to the European Space Agency (ESA) in 2011 for installation aboard the ISS. The main focus of GEROS is the dedicated use of signals from the currently available Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) for remote sensing of the System Earth with focus to Climate Change characterisation. The GEROS mission idea and the current status are briefly reviewed.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft

    Investigation of impact performance of 3-dimensional interlock polymer fabrics in double and multi-angle pass stabbing

    International audienceThis paper presents the influence of fabric structures and stab angles on single-pass stab impact and the repeated and multi-angle stabbings of 3-dimensional (3D) warp interlock structural fabrics based on the high-molecular-weight polyethylene (HMWPE) yarns. Five kinds of samples with different structures were experimentally tested using the drop weight stabbing impact equipment at the same impact energy. Radar charts are plotted to demonstrate the differences among different parameters to a better understanding and a more global characterization of single-pass stabbing impact. An image analysis methodology of Structure From Motion (SFM) is used to compare the fabric deformation in Z direction after the stabbing tests. Results indicated that fabric structures have significant effects on the stab impact property that the orthogonal/through-the-thickness interlock fabric has a good stab impact resistance. Besides, the fabric with stab angle of 90° exhibited better single-pass stab impact property than the counterparts with stab angle of 0°. More importantly, the double-pass stabbing tests are compared to the ones of the single-pass stabbing which shows that a better condition occurs when the stab angles are identical in each pass

    GPS passive bistatic radar system in oceanic environment: detection performance estimation

    No full text
    International audienceBistatic Radar systems are largely used in detection of targets. In this paper, the GPS (Global Positionning System) satellites constellation is chosen as emitters. The feasibility of such a system is studied and different scenarios are compared in a context of sea surface target detection. For that, resolutionparameters are estimated using Point Spread Function (PSF)coming from the filling up of the frequency plan

    Analyse du comportement de renforts tisses interlock lors du procede d'emboutissage

    Des fils hybrides en verre/Polypropylène ont été utilisés dans différentes structures tissées interlock, puis mis en forme par un procédé d’emboutissage. Les préformes seront ensuite consolidées lors du chauffage du polypropylène jouant le rôle de matrice thermoplastique du composite. Dans cette étude, le comportement des tissés 3D vis-à-vis des problématiques de déformabilité lors de l’étape de préformage des renforts secs épais a été analysé. Des essais d’emboutissage avec un poinçon de forme simple (hémisphérique) mais également de forme complexe ont été conduits afin d’analyser l’influence des grandes familles d’architectures interlock («couche à couche», «Interlock orthogonal» et «Angle interlock») sur cette déformabilité.[1] Afin de comparer les architectures, chaque éprouvette a été tissée avec les mêmes réductions chaîne et trame. Pendant le préformage, les angles de cisaillement entre les fils de chaîne et de trame, l’avalement du tissu sur les bords des éprouvettes mais également les variations d’épaisseur ainsi que le glissement entre les couches extérieures des éprouvettes ont été mesurés.[2] Les essais révèlent une homogénéité de la structure emboutie, en particulier dans les zones sensibles comme les plis et les sommets. Les tissus interlocks n’ont révélés aucune plissure non désirée et le procédé d’emboutissage n’a pas généré de ruptures de fils. De plus, les essais menés ont révélés le bon comportement de la structure interlock couche à couches lors de l’emboutissage. Travaux cités : [1] N.V. Padaki, R. Alagirusamy, B.L. Deopura, and R.

    Identification of the Physical and Mechanical Properties of Moroccan Sisal Yarns Used as Reinforcements for Composite Materials

    No full text
    This work aims to investigate the physical and mechanical properties of sisal fiber and yarn of Moroccan origin. The cellulosic and non-cellulosic constituents of the Moroccan sisal fiber were identified by FTIR spectroscopy. The thermal properties were studied by thermogravimetric analysis. The hydrophilicity of the fiber was evaluated by the contact angle. The results show that the sisal fiber has a low thermal stability. The mechanical properties of the fiber analyzed by the Impregnated Fiber Bundle Test (IFBT) method show that the porosity of the impregnated yarns and the twist angle of the yarns influence the elastic modulus of the sisal fiber. The physical and mechanical properties of the manufactured sisal yarns were also characterized and analyzed. The obtained results reveal an interesting potential to use the Moroccan sisal fiber in development of bio-sourced composite materials
