Change in Structural and Thermal Properties of Textile Fabric Packages Containing Basalt Fibres after Fatigue Bending Loading

The aim of this work was to determine the influence of the fatigue bending of textile packag es consisting of aluminised basalt woven fabrics, textile inserts and linings on their structural and thermal insulation properties. For the process of bending, an STM 601/12 device of the SATRA company was used. Three kinds of aluminised basalt woven fabrics were examined in our research, differing in the mass per square meter and textile packages. In the paper the bending process of basalt fabrics and their textile packages are described. A proper combination of material components enabled the creation of five variants of textile packages. The next state of our work was the examination of changes in heat transport properties of the textile packages before and after fatigue bending. As a conclusion we state the influence of fatigue bending on heat transport properties.
