Development of the Weaving Machine and 3D Woven SpacerFabric Structures for Lightweight Composites Materials

I Acknowledgements I wish to express my deep sense of thanks and gratitude to all who contributed in some way to the successful completion of this thesis. I am particularly grateful to:-First and foremost, Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Dr. h. c. Peter Offermann, who gave me the great honor to work my doctoral thesis under his supervision, for many fruitful discussions, ideas and his invaluable guidance and help during this research. I am very grateful for his strong interest and steady encouragement. I benefit a lot not only from his intuition and readiness for discussing problems, but also his way of approaching problems in a structured way had a great influence on me. I would like to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for his support and invaluable advice with continuous suggestions and encouragement. Furthermore, his experiences that guided me throughout the whole period of my research.-I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Dipl.-Ing. Peter Klug, for his outstanding scientific assistance in the field of control-system and programming for the weaving machine, as well as a lot of constructive discussions.-My special thanks for the companies and organizations, especially SFB 639 which supported the demands and requirements of this thesis. Likewise, I thank the cultural affairs and missions sector of the Arab Republic of Egypt, which awarded me the personal financing for a scholarship that enabled me to study my Ph.D in Germany.-As well, I am grateful to my dear Prof. Dr. Eng. Ahmed Abdelsamad, who received his Ph.D degree before 30 years from Chemnitz University, therefore he advised me to study my Ph.D at TU Dresden in Germany. I thank him for his really great scientific knowledge in the field of weaving machine technology which he learned us as students in undergraduate study.-Certainly, I am proud of my dear Prof. Dr. Eng. Mahmoud Harby, under his supervision I researched my M.Sc., and I thank him for many constructive and fruitful discussions which had much influence on my analysis for the scientific problems. All of that helped me to finish my difficult theme of my M.Sc. successfully; therefore I was awarded my abroad scholarship.-My cousin Mr. Chancellor. Salah Badawi, for his continuous advice and encouragement. He has always faith in my abilities, a lot of thanks to him and all his family.-My uncle Dr. Med. Mohamed El-zind and his family, I am very grateful to all of them, for being the …
