Three dimensional (3D) woven composites have attracted the interest of academia and industry thanks to their damage tolerance characteristics and automated fabric manufacturing. Although much research has been conducted to investigate their out-of-plane "through thickness" properties, still their in-plane properties are not fully understood and rely on extensive experimentation. To date, the literature lacks an inclusive summary of the mechanical characterisation for 3D woven composites. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of the available research studies on 3D woven composites mechanical characterisation, with less emphasis on the outof-plane response, but an in-depth review of the in-plane response "un-notched vs. notched". The paper highlights the knowledge gap in the literature of 3D woven composites, suggesting opportunities for future research in this field and a room for improvement in utilising Non-Destructive Techniques (NDT), such as Digital Image Correlation (DIC), Acoustic Emission (AE) and X-ray Computed Tomography (CT), for observing damage initiation and evolution in 3D woven composites that could be used to calibrate and evaluate analytical and numerical models.

“…The authors performed a 45 • off-axis tensile test on the TTT-AIC specimen; however, the mandatory data reduction steps necessary for this test method was not reported in their work, casting doubt on its veracity. Previous work on experimental determination of in-plane shear modulus [8] of a similar TTT-AIC fabric reported average values of about 4 GPa. Furthermore, previous work on experimental and virtual characterisation of woven textile composites reported that the shear moduli of these composites are similar to those of its constituent yarns.…”

Predicting the effective thermo-mechanical response of heterogeneous materials such as composites, using virtual testing techniques, requires imposing periodic boundary conditions on geometric domains. However, classic methods of imposing periodic boundary conditions require identical finite element mesh constructions on corresponding regions of geometric domains. This type of mesh construction is infeasible for heterogeneous materials with complex architecture such as textile composites where arbitrary mesh constructions are commonplace. This paper discusses interpolation techniques for imposing periodic boundary conditions on general finite element mesh constructions for predicting the effective elastic properties of a variety of heterogeneous materials. Benchmark virtual tests on identical and non-identical meshes demonstrate the high fidelity of the proposed periodic boundary conditions enforcement technique, in comparison to a conventional technique of imposing periodic boundary conditions and experimental data.

“…Composite components produced via these processes do not achieve the same levels of stiffness and strength as those produced via the pre-preg route, but can have other advantages, for example, fiber arrangements can be multi-directional (e.g. a 3D fiber architecture [128][129][130] ), giving significant improvements in delamination and impact resistance.…”

A review of composite product data interoperability and product life-cycle management challenges is presented, which addresses "Product Life-cycle Management", developments in materials. The urgent need for this is illustrated by the life-cycle management issues faced in modern military aircraft, where in-service failure of composite parts is a problem, not just in terms of engineering understanding, but also in terms of the process for managing and maintaining the fleet. A demonstration of the use of ISO 10303-235 for a range of through-life composite product data is reported. The standardization of the digital representation of data can help businesses to automate data processing. With the development of new materials, the requirements for data information models for materials properties are evolving, and standardization drives transparency, improves the efficiency of data analysis, and enhances data accuracy. Current developments in Information Technology, such as big data analytics methodologies, have the potential to be highly transformative.
