Abstract:
A fiber arrangement comprising:a first layer including a plurality of fibers extending in a first direction; a second layer arranged adjacent said first layer, said second layer including a plurality of fibers extending in a second direction, said second direction being substantially perpendicular to said first direction; a third layer arranged adjacent said second layer, said third layer including a plurality of fibers extending in a third direction, said third direction being substantially perpendicular to said second direction, each of said fibers of said second layer being in contact with said fibers of said first and third layers at a plurality of contact points, said contact points being spaced from each other by an averse distance greater than a diameter of said fibers, said contact points between said fast and second layers being offset relative to said contact points between said second and third layers; a first surface on one side of said layers; a second surface spaced from said first surface and on a second opposite side of said layers, said first and second surfaces being movable relative to each other, and said first, second and third layers elastically biasing said first and second surfaces apart.
