Abstract: A fiber construct comprises a binding thread that binds all first fiber layers and second fiber layers in a laminating direction in a first flat portion, The binding thread is in any one of a mode of extending straight in a bent portion and a second flat portion, a mode of binding the first fiber layers and the second fiber layers partially in the laminating direction in the bent portion and the second flat portion, and a mode of being absent in the bent portion and the second flat portion. In the bent portion and the second flat portion, a second yarn is in any one of a mode of engaging with only the first yarn of a specific one of the first fiber layers and a mode of binding the first fiber layers partially in the laminating direction.

Abstract: A fiber structure includes a first corner section, which is a boundary section between a first structural portion and a second structural portion, a second corner section, which is a boundary section between the first structural portion and a third structural portion, and a third corner section, which is a boundary section between the second structural portion and the third structural portion. A first yarn that extends continuously in the first structural portion and the second structural portion is bent at the first corner section. A second yarn that extends continuously in the first structural portion and the third structural portion is bent at the second corner section. At least one of the first yarn and the second yarn, which extend continuously in the second structural portion and third structural portion, is bent at the third corner section.

Abstract: An energy-absorbing member includes a fiber structure. The fiber structure includes a first end face configured to first receive a load and a second end face opposite to the first end face in the direction that the load is applied. The fiber structure includes a shape retention section including the first end face, a main section that includes the second end face and hinders propagation of breakage of the fiber structure, and a trigger section that is located between the shape retention section and the main section and serves as a starting point of breakage when receiving an impact load. The shape retention section and the main section each have a woven structure that allows the shape retention section and the main section to have a higher interlayer bonding strength than the trigger section.

Abstract: A fiber lamination includes a plurality of fiber layers laminated on one another. The fiber layers are at least biaxially oriented. The fiber lamination is a three-dimensional plate. The fiber lamination includes a bent portion, a first flat portion, and a second flat portion. The angle at which a connection yarn crosses the fiber layers at the first flat portion differs from the angle at which the connection yarn crosses the fiber layers at the second flat portion. Therefore, a three-dimensional fiber structure is manufactured by bending a laminated body while suppressing generation of wrinkles and distortion at the bent portion.
