The structure has five yarn sets, which are bias(+) and bias(—), warp, filling and Z-yarns. The weaving method has been introduced to form the structure. An experimental prototype was constructed to trial the method. In this technique, called “tube-carrier weaving”, bias(+) and bias(—) yarns are closely laid all over the surface. The preliminary study shows that the structure and weaving method seem feasible under the test conditions. }, number={8}, journal={TEXTILE RESEARCH JOURNAL}, author={Bilisik, Kadir and Mohamed, Mansour H.}, year={2010}, month={May}, pages={696–711} } @article{bilisik_mohamed_2009, title={Multiaxis Three-dimensional Flat Woven Preform (Tube Rapier Weaving) and Circular Woven Preform (Radial Crossing Weaving)}, volume={79}, ISSN={["0040-5175"]}, DOI={10.1177/0040517508099395}, abstractNote={ The aim of this study was to develop new preform structure and process mainly for composite industry. For this reason, multiaxis three-dimensional flat and circular woven preforms and methods were developed. The preform structures had five yarn sets as +/— bias, warp, filling and z-yarns for flat woven and +/— bias, axial, circumferential and radial yarns for circular woven. The weaving methods were introduced to form both structures. The experimental rigs were constructed for the trial of the methods. The important processing parameters related to preform unit cells and weaving were identified for full-scale process and product developments. The preliminary study showed that both types of weaving looked feasible under test conditions. }, number={12}, journal={TEXTILE RESEARCH JOURNAL}, author={Bilisik, Kadir and Mohamed, Mansour H.}, year={2009}, month={Aug}, pages={1067–1084} } @article{xu_qiu_wang_mohamed_2003, title={Experimental and numerical analyses on the stiffness of three-dimensional woven carbon preform reinforced cellular matrix composites}, volume={63}, ISSN={["0266-3538"]}, DOI={10.1016/S0266-3538(03)00081-2}, abstractNote={Abstract Three-dimensional cellular matrix composites (3DCMC) and three-dimensional regular matrix composites (3DRMC) were fabricated and tensile tested. The experimental results showed that the stiffness of 3DCMC was lower than that of the 3DRMC. Because of significant density reduction of 3DCMC, their specific stiffness was found to be 12–19% greater than that of the 3DRMC. Stiffness averaging method was used for prediction of the tensile modulus for both 3DCMC and 3DRMC materials. Reasonable agreement between the computational and the experimental results were obtained for 3DRMC (within 3–6%) but a larger discrepancy (18%) existed for 3DCMC. By treating the whole 3DCMC as a special type of rigid foam material, an empirical correlation between the ratio of the moduli and that of the densities of 3DCMC and 3DRMC was used to accurately predict stiffness of 3DCMC from that of 3DRMC (within ±2–5%).}, number={10}, journal={COMPOSITES SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY}, author={Xu, W and Qiu, Y and Wang, Y and Mohamed, MH}, year={2003}, month={Aug}, pages={1387–1392} } @misc{qiu_mohamed_xu_2003, title={Method of making a three-dimensionally reinforced cellular matrix composite}, volume={6,521,148}, number={2003 Feb. 18}, publisher={Washington, DC: U.S. Patent and Trademark Office}, author={Qiu, Y.-P. and Mohamed, M.

Epoxy resins in the interstices of yarns in the 3DCMC samples were vacated during the foaming process and needle shaped voids were also generated between fibers in yarns. The average density of the 3DCMC samples was about 103 kg/m3, and their density reduction was 28–37% compared with a regular matrix composite with the same preform. The 3DCMC has 32–42% higher specific tensile strength, 14–37% greater specific tensile modulus, a lower specific flexure strength but 35% higher specific tangent modulus in 3-point bending, a 30–40% higher specific impact energy absorption at an impact velocity around 120 m/s and a similar specific energy absorption at about 220 m/s. Meanwhile, the 3-point bending and impact test results of 3DCMC showed that they have different fracture mechanisms from that of 3DRMC.}, number={16}, journal={COMPOSITES SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY}, author={Qiu, YP and Xu, W and Wang, YJ and Zikry, MA and Mohamed, MH}, year={2001}, pages={2425–2435} } @inproceedings{hamouda_xu_qui_mohamed_2000, title={Elasticity analysis of 3D cellular matrix composites}, booktitle={ICCE/7: seventh annual International Conference on Composites Engineering: July 2-8, 2000, Denver, Colorado}, publisher={[S.l.]: International Community for Composities Engineering}, author={Hamouda, H. and Xu, W. and Qui, Y. and Mohamed, M.}, year={2000} } @article{yushanov_bogdanovich_mohamed_1999, title={Manufacturing and property analysis of a novel class of 3-D woven composites}, volume={12}, ISSN={["0892-7057"]}, DOI={10.1177/089270579901200107}, abstractNote={ Structural and elastic properties of a novel class of 3-D woven orthogonally reinforced composites are studied.
