“…The plain woven glass fabric was selected, and its basic parameters are consistent with the balanced fabric in our previous work. [ 28 ] The fabric was cut into the square specimen with a side length of 300 mm, and put on the surface of the open die. The blank holder was placed on the top of the fabric to supply the tension when the fabric slides into the open die.…”

Characterizing the interlayer interaction is beneficial to mitigate the manufacturing defects in the multi‐layered fabric forming of composite. However, the interlayer interactions including the force and sliding distance, and their effects on the defect generation have not been reported yet. Here, the monolayer and multi‐layered fabric hemisphere forming were conducted by experiments. Firstly, the forming force and deformation modes at different hemisphere regions are confirmed in the monolayer fabric forming as a reference. Then, in the multi‐layered forming, the interlayer interaction is confirmed to still exist in the configuration with the same ply orientations, whereas the forming force, forming force rate, and interlayer sliding are smaller than that in the configuration with different ply orientations. In addition, with the increase of layer number, the extent of interlayer interaction is improved, which intensifies the defect from the out of plane yarn buckling to the macro wrinkle in the tensile direction. Especially, it is revealed that the tensile direction of lower layer should be avoided under the shear direction of upper layer to reduce the interlayer sliding. These results obtained here provide an important reference to the multi‐layered plain woven fabric forming.

In order to study the possibility of flexible textile composites as space deployable devices, carbon fiber triaxial woven fabric and thermoplastic polyurethane were compounded by hot‐pressing. The section shape of the carbon fiber triaxial woven fabric flexible textile composites was observed by scanning electron microscopy. After hot‐pressing at 120°C for 45 min, the thermoplastic polyurethane is best combined with carbon fiber bundle, and fully melted to form a protective layer, which also ensured the deformability of carbon fiber triaxial woven fabric/thermoplastic polyurethane flexible textile composites. The tensile strains of flexible textile composites in the directions of 0°, 15° and 30° were analyzed by digital image correlation. The analysis was carried out from the macroscopic scale, the single cell scale, and the fiber bundle scale, combined with the strain distribution of digital image correlation in the tensile process. From the axial and radial deformation of the bundle and the force analysis of single cell, the phenomena such as strain change, trellising phenomenon, and fabric deformation during tensile were explained. When carbon fiber triaxial woven fabric is added to glass‐fiber composite, the electromagnetic reflection efficiency can be increased by 9%. The research on strain and electromagnetic reflection provided the possibility for the flexible textile composites as a space deployment device.Highlights Through the use of SEM and hot‐pressing, carbon fiber triaxial woven fabric/TPU flexible textile composites with high coverage were produced. The differences in strain distribution and deformation process throughout the CTFC tensile process at 0°, 15°, and 30° are investigated by DIC and stress analysis. Carbon fiber triaxial woven fabric (TWF) can reflect electromagnetic radiation. TWF can increase the efficacy of reflection in composites. Space deployment is a possible application of TWF.

“…8 This kind of damage extends inward and then destroys the integrity of the structure. [9][10][11] Therefore, research on the impact resistance of fiber composites is an important topic worldwide. Kasano 12 conducted penetration tests on glass fiber, carbon fiber, and aramid fiber composites using conical and hemispherical projectiles and determined the relevant ballistic limit velocities of different projectiles; Wen 13 analyzed the penetration depth and perforation of glass fiber laminate when it was penetrated and then obtained the analytical equation of ballistic limit velocity; Through experiments and numerical simulation, Ramazan 14 studied the effects of impact energy, impact block mass, and impact velocity on the maximum contact force, maximum deflection, contact time, absorbed energy, and overall damage area of glass/epoxy composites.…”

“…The author also proposed the ballistic limit velocity equation considering both momentum theorem and energy conservation law, which is suitable for ballistic experimental data fitting of wide range targets and achieves good results. 18 Zhao 19 studied the mechanical properties and failure behavior of glass plain fabric composites under axial (0 and 90°) and off-axis (5,10,15,30,45, and 60°) tensile loads. The experimental results show that the off-axis elastic modulus and strength decrease with the increase of off-axis angle.…”

This paper mainly studies the dynamic response of composites with glass fiber as reinforcement and polypropylene resin as matrix under high-speed projectile penetration. The penetration effects of fiber unidirectional ply cross-ply and quasi-isotropic ply laminate were studied by using penetration velocities of 100–500 m/s. The effects of ply angle on ballistic limit velocity, target energy absorption rate and corresponding failure mode are analyzed. The correctness of the simulation model is verified by comparative experiments, and the ply angle of glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (GF/PP) composites is optimized. The results show that the energy absorption efficiency of the three kinds of laminated plates gradually decreases with the increase of the projectile incident velocity, and with the increase of the velocity, the absorption rate of the target plate gradually decreases tends to the same constant. The laminated plates with complex ply angles are simulated and analyzed, and the optimization results show that the ballistic limit velocity of fiber-reinforced composite laminates with ply angle of 30° is the highest.
