Development of carbon reinforced composite tapes as rapier carrier in flexible rapier weaving machines by Seher Cihan Usul, Recep Eren

“…Although bending force was calculated well below its breaking value when it is bent to 150–200 mm radius of curvature (radius of rapier drive wheel) for a sample length of 150 mm, both maximum bending force and maximum bending strength values remained under those of commercial composite rapier tape and needed improvement with further studies.…”
