<p>A three-dimensional weave architecture for weaving preforms has fill fibers woven to provide layer-to-layer interlocking of layers of warp fiber as well as interlocking of fibers within each layer. The woven preform transfers out-of-plane loading through directed fibers to minimize inter-laminar tension. The preform has a base (83) and at least one leg (81) extending from the base (83), the base (83) and leg (81) each having at least two layers of warp fibers (85). The fill fibers follow a weave sequence which carries them through part of the base (83), then into the legs (81), then through the other portion of the base (83), and back through the base (83) to return to the starting point of the fill tow. The leg (81) may be connected at a single- or distributed-column intersection, and the intersection may be radiussed. The outer ends of the base (83) and legs (81) may have tapers formed from terminating layers of warp fibers in a stepped pattern.</p> |
