The present disclosure relates to a textile fabric comprising a casing of three layers, the three layers comprising a top layer, a bottom layer, and an intermediate layer that is arranged between the top layer and bottom layer, wherein the top layer, the intermediate layer, and the bottom layers are bonded together through weaving.

A gas turbine fan casing made of composite material with a fibrous reinforcement includes a plurality of superimposed turns of a strip-shaped fibrous texture having a three-dimensional weaving between a plurality of layers of warp yarns and a plurality of layers of weft yarns, the fibrous reinforcement being densified by a matrix. The fibrous texture includes at least one lateral section of variable thickness in which the weft yarns have a size or a count different from the size or the count of the weft yarns of the plurality of layers of weft yarns present in the remainder of the fibrous texture.

A method and device are used for generating a jacquard pattern. The method comprises: acquiring structure information of a unit structure of a preform to be prepared, the structure information comprises a warp yarn column number, a warp yarn layer number, a weft yarn column number and a weft yarn layer number, a positional relationship between the warp yarns and the weft yarns of the unit structure of a preform to be prepared; obtaining a row number and a column number of the jacquard pattern to be generated, and correspondence between each pixel in the jacquard pattern to be generated and the warp yarns and weft yarns of the unit structure of the preform to be prepared; and obtaining a pixel value of each pixel, and generating the jacquard pattern to be generated.

The invention relates to a method of fabricating a turbine engine blade out of composite material comprising fiber reinforcement densified by a matrix, the blade comprising an airfoil, a platform situated at a longitudinal end of the airfoil, and at least one functional element projecting from the outside face of the platform. The method comprises: making a single-piece fiber blank by multilayer weaving; shaping the fiber blank to obtain a single-piece fiber preform having a first portion (302) forming a preform for the blade airfoil (320) and a second portion (314) forming a preform for the platform (340) and at least one preform for a functional element (352; 354); and densifying the fiber preform with a matrix. The second preform portion comprises a set of yarn layers interlinked by weaving with at least one zone of non-interlinking being provided to make it possible to deploy the functional element preform relative to the first platform preform.

A task is to provide a multilayer structured cloth and a fiber product which are excellent in lightweight properties for bulkiness, impressive soft texture, high cushioning properties, low draping properties, and sweat absorbing and quick drying properties, and the task is achieved by a multilayer structured cloth including front and back ground structure portions, a connecting yarn which connects the front and back ground structure portions to each other, and an insert yarn, wherein at least one of the front and back ground structure portions contains a crimped fiber or a spun yarn.

A blade includes a fibrous reinforcement having a three-dimensional weave densified by a matrix, the fibrous reinforcement including, in a single woven piece, a root and an aerodynamic profile part extending along a longitudinal direction between the root part and a blade tip portion and along a transverse direction between a leading and a trailing edge portion. The profile part includes first and second suction side and pressure side faces. The fibrous reinforcement includes a separation forming a housing inside the fibrous reinforcement, a bladder filled with a shaping foam being present in the housing. The separation extends over a separation zone inside the profile part of the fibrous reinforcement comprised between the root part and the blade tip portion in the longitudinal direction and between the leading and the trailing edge portion in the transverse direction. The separation opens to the outside of the profile part.

A process for shaping a fibrous preform includes the insertion of each attachment tab of a fibrous texture into a corresponding aperture of an impregnation mandrel, the attachment by a removable retaining device of each tab inserted into each aperture against a surface of the impregnation mandrel, the winding under tension of the fibrous texture on the impregnation mandrel in order to obtain a fibrous preform.

A method for injecting a loaded suspension into a fibrous texture having a three-dimensional or multilayer weaving includes the injection of a suspension containing a powder of solid particles into the volume of the fibrous texture. The injection of the loaded suspension is carried out by at least one hollow needle in communication with a loaded suspension supply device, each needle being movable in at least one direction extending between a first face and a second opposite face of the fibrous texture so as to inject the loaded suspension at one or more determined depths in the fibrous texture.

A fibrous structure having the form of a band extending in a longitudinal direction (X) over a given length between a proximal part and a distal part and in a lateral direction (Y) over a given width between a first side edge and a second side edge, the fibrous structure having a three-dimensional or multilayer weave between a plurality of layers of warp yarns or strands extending longitudinally and a plurality of layers of weft yarns or strands extending laterally, wherein a first portion of the fibrous structure present between the proximal part and an intermediate part of the fibrous structure includes carbon fiber weft yarns or strands and wherein a second portion of the fibrous structure present between the intermediate part and the distal part includes glass fiber weft yarns or strands.

Disclosed is a weaving assembly including a rotatable base, a base positional controller, a weave control grid, a warp fiber support, warp fiber arms, a warp fiber arm positional controller and a fill fiber wand.
