Mechanical behavior of 3D woven composites

Effect of weft density and yarn crimps towards tensile strength of 3D angle interlock woven fabric

“…This has indicate that fabric samples which resulted lower crimp percentage tend to be less stiffness on fabric and will produce better tensile strength performance. In general, these results were similarly consistent with the previous studies that suggested more yarn interlacement will led to higher crimp percentage and thus will decrease the tensile performance [6,8,12].…”

“…Several previous studies done on conventional 2D and 3D weave structure have supported that weft direction results better mechanical tensile strength rather than warp direction [6,[8][9][10]14]. …”

“…Behera et. al [6] worked on the effect of different types of 3D woven; layer-to-layer, orthogonal and angle interlock towards the mechanical behaviour of 3D woven composite by using eglass fibre. Another similar approach has been done by Dai et.…”

Recent advancements in mechanical characterisation of 3D woven composites

“…The effect of z-binding yarns on the flexural and interlaminar shear strength of 3D woven composites has been studied by Cox et al 1994;Wang 2006;Walter et al 2010;Behera and Dash 2015;Dai et al 2015a;Umer et al 2016;Labanieh et al 2017). For ORT and 3D braided architecture, Wang et al (Wang 2006) reported both the flexural "3-point bending" and ILSS responses.…”

“…For the in-plane properties' characterisation, much work has been done to characterise the failure mechanisms of 3D woven composites subjected to quasi-static loading (Cox et al , 1996Pochiraju 1999;Leong et al 2000;Tan et al 2000;Quinn et al 2008;Lomov et al 2011;Gerlach et al 2012;Behera and Dash 2015;Warren et al 2015a;Dai et al 2015a) along the warp-or weftdirections. An early study by Cox et al (Cox et al 1994, 1996 studied the failure mechanisms of 3D woven composites (ORT, LTL) monotonically loaded in tension, compression and bending.…”
