“…3D woven composites, distinguished by their intricate interlaced fiber architecture, have attracted substantial interest in recent years owing to their enhanced mechanical attributes, such as superior strength, dimensional stability, and heightened resistance to delamination and impact [1][2][3][4][5]. In contrast to conventional 2D woven composites, which feature yarns interweaving in the warp (y-yarn) and weft (x-yarn) directions, 3D woven composites incorporate an additional set of yarns oriented in the thickness dimension.…”

This study investigates the effects of the number of layers, x-yarn (weft) density, and z-yarn (binder) path on the mechanical behavior of E-glass 3D orthogonal woven (3DOW) composites during low-velocity impacts. Meso-level finite element (FE) models were developed and validated for 3DOW composites with different yarn densities and z-yarn paths, providing analyses of stress distribution within reinforcement fibers and matrix, energy absorption, and failure time. Our findings revealed that lower x-yarn densities led to accumulations of stress concentrations. Furthermore, changing the z-yarn path, such as transitioning from plain weaves to twill or basket weaves had a noticeable impact on stress distributions. The research highlights the significance of designing more resilient 3DOW composites for impact applications by choosing appropriate parameters in weaving composite designs.

“…Three-dimensional (3D) woven composites have attracted significant interest in recent years due to their exceptional mechanical properties and broad applicability, such as aerospace and automotive systems and ballistic protection [1][2][3]. These composites are characterized by reinforcing fibers woven in three-dimensional structures, offering improved out-of-plane properties and delamination resistance compared to traditional 3D woven preforms made from a stack of 2D woven composites [4,5].…”

This study uses the finite element method (FEM) to investigate the effect of key structural parameters on the impact resistance of E-glass 3D orthogonal woven (3DOW) composites subjected to low-velocity impact. These structural parameters include the number of y-yarn layers, the path of the binder yarn (z-yarn), and the density of the x-yarn. Using ABAQUS, yarn-level finite element (FE) models are created based on the measured geometrical parameters and validated for energy absorption and damage behavior from experimental data gathered from the previous study. The results from finite element analysis (FEA) indicate that the x-yarn density and the binder path substantially influenced the composites’ damage behavior and impact performance. Increasing x-yarn density in 3DOW leads to a 15% increase in energy absorption compared to models with reduced x-yarn densities. Moreover, as the x-yarn density increases, crack lengths at the back face of the resin matrix decrease in the y-yarn direction but increase in the x-yarn direction. The basket weave structure absorbs less energy than plain and 2 × 1 twill structures due to the less constrained weft primary yarns. These results underscore the importance of these structural parameters in optimizing 3DOW composite for better impact performance, providing valuable insights for the design of advanced composite structures.
