ABSTRACT:
A three-dimensional fabric is disclosed that effectively weaves a solid member into the fabric. A multiplicity of warp strings that are arranged in a plurality of layers which extend in a lengthwise direction of the fabric. At least some of the warp strings are wrapped around the solid member. A multiplicity of bias threads are arranged in at least one symmetrical pair of bias thread layers. The bias threads are incline relative to the lengthwise direction of the fabric and the layers in the bias layer pair are symmetrically arranged relative to the lengthwise direction of the fabric. At least some of the bias threads are wrapped around the solid member. A plurality of vertical threads are provided that run substantially perpendicular relative to the warp string and the bias thread layers. The vertical threads couple the layers of the warp strings and the bias threads. In the case where the three-dimensional fabric is used as a composite, which is coupled to another member when in use, it is unnecessary to perform any mechanical processing after the composite is completed to attach a coupling part, such as a metal bushing, to the fabric.
