Plain weave is the simplest, shortest, and most important woven fabric construction produced by alternative lifting and lowering of one warp yarn across one weft yarn. It has the maximum amount of interlacing possible in a woven fabric. Plain weave produces a tight cloth with firm structure, which is stronger than any other weave structure (Redmore, 2011; Wilson, 2001). Hence, at least 90% of the two-dimensional woven technical fabrics are constructed on plain weave (Sondhelm, 2000).

The plain weave is the basic woven fabric structure and is very widely used. It forms the basis for the development of the more complicated interlacing patterns used in weaving. Rib weave is a variation of a plain weave. Either warp or weft yarn is thicker than the other. Usually, warp yarn is thicker, in which case there is an appearance of prominent ribs in the horizontal direction.
Fabric-reinforced Composites

Plain weave is the simplest, most commonly used style. The fill and warp are interlaced to produce a checkerboard effect (Figure 9.2a) with about 50% of fill and 50% of warp exposed on each face of the fabric. Plain weave fabrics are strong, hard wearing, and snag resistant, but they are not very drapeable and tend to wrinkle when trying to conform to contoured molds.

Plain weave is the most basic woven cloth structure. Plain weave is characterized by being sturdy because it has the largest number of crossings among woven cloths consisting of two vertical and horizontal strings, and that there is no bias in the running state of the strings on the front and back of the cloth. Twill weave and satin weave are characterized by a flexible structure with little interlacing of strings and a bias on the front and back of the cloth. Previous studies have shown that active textiles with high tissue density do not work well [10]. It can be expected that it will be easier to operate by using twill weave and satin weave, which have a lower crossing density and the fibers run linearly. Moreover, in this study, the aim is to realize not only the contraction motion of the active textile in the longitudinal direction but also the bending deformation. In this study, we confirm that bending deformation occurs by using twill weave and satin weave, which have different amounts of artificial muscles running on the front and back of the cloth.

Plain weave is the most basic fabric pattern among the woven fabric types. In plain weave the thread crossing pattern is shown in in Figure 3a. The photo of loaded fabric used in the experiment is shown in Figure 3b. The main reason for choosing this type of fabric is its geometric similarity to metal mesh.
