“…This finding is also consistent with that of Dash and Behera (Figure 5F). 25 In flexible impact-resistant composites, stress propagation can effectively aid the fabric in absorbing impact energy. Many factors influence stress propagation; Yang and Chen 55 found that, in multilayer fabrics, when the warp and weft density of the fabric increased, the fabric yarn curl increased because of fabric tightness.…”

Three‐dimensional (3D) structure‐reinforced flexible polymer composites have great potential as personal protective materials. These composites exhibit excellent mechanical properties and failure mechanisms than typical rigid composites because of the complex dynamic reaction processes caused by the 3D structure in response to impact. This paper comprehensively reviews the impact resistance mechanism of 3D structure‐reinforced flexible polymer composites by combining current results with relevant investigations. 3D woven fabric reinforcements and flexible matrix materials of flexible polymer composites systems are presented in this paper. The classification for 3D woven fabric reinforcements is reviewed, as well as the effect of reinforcement structures on the impact resistance of the flexible composites. Furthermore, several flexible matrix are introduced. Several external factors affecting the impact resistance of composites are then discussed. Finally, the impact damage mechanism of 3D structure‐reinforced flexible polymer composites is summarized and analyzed.

Composite materials which are reinforced with 3D warp interlock fabrics have outstanding mechanical properties such as higher delamination resistance, ballistic damage resistance and impact damage tolerance by means of their improved structural properties. Textile reinforcements are exposed to large deformations in the production stage of composite materials which have complex shape. Although good formability properties of 3D warp interlock fabrics in forming process were already proven by recent studies, further information is needed to elucidate forming behaviours of multi-layer fabrics which is produced with high stiffness yarns like carbon. In this study, 3D warp interlock carbon fabrics were produced on a prototype weaving loom and the same carbon yarn was used in two fabric directions with equal number of yarn densities. Fabrics were differentiated with regard to the presence of stuffer warp yarn, weave pattern and parameters of binding warp yarn which are angle and depth. Therefore, the effect of fabric architecture on the mechanical and formability properties of 3D warp interlock carbon fabrics could be clarified. Three different breaking behaviours of fabrics were detected and they were correlated with crimp percentages of yarn groups. In addition, the bending and shear deformations were analysed in view of parameters of fabric architectures. Two distinct forming behaviours of fabrics were determined according to the distribution of deformation areas on fabrics. Moreover, the optimal structure was identified for forming process considering the fabric architecture.

“…Based on the results, hybridization improved the tensile behavior of the three-dimensional angle-interlock composite fabric. The weaving process and its parameters, including the positioning of stuffer, fiber volume fractions, and linking warp yarns in the 3D orthogonal and warp interlock woven fabric structure, were also shown to have an influence on the mechanical properties of the fabrics [ 27 , 28 , 29 ].…”

Recently, three-dimensional (3D) warp interlock fabric has been involved in composite reinforcement and soft ballistic material due to its great moldability, improved impact energy-absorbing capacity, and good intra-ply resistance to delamination behaviors. However, understanding the effects of different parameters of the fabric on its mechanical behavior is necessary before the final application. The fabric architecture and its internal yarn composition are among the common influencing parameters. The current research aims to explore the effects of the warp yarn interchange ratio in the 3D warp interlock para-aramid architecture on its mechanical behavior. Thus, four 3D warp interlock variants with different warp (binding and stuffer) yarn ratios but similar architecture and structural characteristics were engineered and manufactured. Tensile and flexural rigidity mechanical tests were carried out at macro- and meso-scale according to standard EN ISO 13 934-1 and nonwoven bending length (WSP 90.5(05)), respectively. Based on the results, the warp yarn interchange ratio in the structure revealed strong influences on the tensile properties of the fabric at both the yarn and final fabric stages. Moreover, the bending stiffness of the different structures showed significant variation in both the warp and weft directions. Thus, the interchange rations of stuffer and binding warp yarn inside the 3D warp interlock fabric were found to be very key in optimizing the mechanical performance of the fabric for final applications.
