“…The fabric samples are clamped at their edges and a symmetrical boundary conditions is applied to the cross-sections in 1/4 plain model. The accuracy of FE models can be verified according to the ballistic experimental results [27]. The experimental ballistic tests evaluate the impact and residual velocities of the projectile before and after penetrating the fabric panels.…”

In order to achieve an efficient ballistic protection at a low weight, it is necessary to deeply explore the energy absorption mechanisms of ballistic fabric structures. In this paper, finite element (FE) yarn-level models of the designed three-dimensional (3D) angle-interlock (AI) woven fabrics and the laminated two-dimensional (2D) plain fabrics are established. The ballistic impact responses of fabric panels with and without the interlocking Z-warp yarns during the projectile penetration are evaluated in terms of their energy absorption, deformation, and stress distribution. The Z-warps in the 3D fabrics bind different layers of wefts together and provide the panel with structural support along through-the-thickness direction. The results show that the specific energy absorption (SEA) of 3D fabrics is up to 88.1% higher than that of the 2D fabrics. The 3D fabrics has a wider range of in-plane stress dispersion, which demonstrates its structural advantages in dispersing impact stress and getting more secondary yarns involved in energy absorption. However, there is a serious local stress concentration in 2D plain woven fabrics near the impact location. The absence of Z-warps between the layers of 2D laminated fabrics leads to a premature layer by layer failure. The findings are indicative for the future design of ballistic amors.

“…investigation by Yang et al 189 revealed that angle interlock structures show weaker gripping power, in addition to the normal energy absorption mechanisms like 2D woven fabrics. It has been reported that angle interlock fabrics also offer least resistance to shear, owing to minimal contact points.…”

“…In short, an impact with the same energy may happen with two distinct situations: low-velocity impact (LVI) by a large mass (drop weight) and high-velocity impact (HVI) by a small mass (debris, bullet, etc.). The former is generally simulated using a falling weight or a swinging pendulum and the latter using a gas gun or some other ballistic launcher [79–81]. The energy loss of the projectile is an effective way to measure the fabric’s capability of absorbing energy which is difficult to measure directly [81].…”

In recent years, the research interest on three-dimensional warp interlock woven fabrics (3DWIFs) as reinforcement in composites is warranted and obtained popularity due to their advantages over two-dimensional laminated fabrics. The current literature tends to address the aspects of mechanical properties of 3DWIFs by experimental and numerical approaches. This review aims at providing an overview and comprehensive understanding of dry 3DWIFs. The filaments/yarns used, the common structures, and categories of 3DWIFs are reviewed. Recent characterizations of the mechanical performance of dry 3DWIFs are discussed. Theoretical and numerical models for predicting the mechanical properties of dry 3DWIFs are also delineated. The critical review can provide valuable ideas and guidance for future studies.
