Using knitted fabric as composite reinforcement is rising much interest because of its attractive mechanical properties, impact resistance, high dynamic energy absorption, and excellent stretch ability, which allows to be used in any complex shape mould without folds. Yarns curvature in the through thickness direction can be observed as the advantage for the production of 3D fabrics of complex shape.
