Generation of a reinforcement scheme with two families of warp yarns alternating on respectively one and two sets of weft yarns; (a) fully tensioned weft yarns; (b) effect of a decrease in weft yarns tension; (c) further decrease of the weft yarns—axonometric view; and (d) further decrease of the weft yarns—side view.

Bending deformation properties of the fabric: (a) PA66 in wrap and weft, (b) PA66/1%PDMS in wrap and weft, (c) PA66/2%PDMS in wrap and weft, (d) PA66/3%PDMS in warp and weft.

Calculation of the TRCR in reconstructed 0° region: (a) reconstruction result of weft yarn paths; (b) delete the edge contour of the sample from weft reconstruction result; (c) establish reconstruction area boundary in weft reconstruction result; (d) calculate the area of weft direction reconstruction area; (e) reconstruction result of warp yarn paths; (f) delete the edge contour of the sample from warp reconstruction result; (g) establish reconstruction area boundary in warp reconstruction result; (h) calculate the area of warp direction reconstruction area; (i) original image of sample; (j) binary image of sample; (k) TRCR result of warp yarn paths; (l) TRCR result of weft yarn paths.
