Abstract

Disclosed herein is a plexus of filaments which is composed of paired filaments which travel extensively around one another to form a double helix structure, where each pair of filaments belongs to a group of filaments, traverse at crossing angles to other filaments which belong to at least another group of filaments, thus repetitively crossing the paths of the filament pairs in at least another group of filaments. Also defined within the specifications and claims herein is the linking of the filaments between the different paired groups of filaments, which facilitates the distribution of tension between the filaments within a plexus of filaments. Herein described are plexuses which exhibit greater conformal and constrictive qualities in comparison to the prior art. Also disclosed is a method of producing filament structures for a variety of uses including composite structures, with enhanced structural properties, including but not limited to; tension displacement properties, for use in applications requiring conformal load distribution with minimal weight.
