“…Compared to 2D woven composites, the yarns in the z ‐direction interconnect the warp yarns in the x ‐direction and weft yarns in the y ‐direction in the 3D woven composites, producing the woven composites in three dimensions 64 . Therefore, the addition of the z‐yarns tailors the properties of 3D woven composites with higher material strength 65 . For instance, the application of thermoplastic fibers with high stiffness and load‐bearing capacity as the z‐yarns leads to an increase in energy absorption and interlaminar fracture toughness for 3D woven composites 66 .…”

Considerable research has indicated that fiber‐reinforced textile composites are significantly beneficial to the aerospace industry, especially aero engines, due to their high specific strength, specific stiffness, corrosion resistance, and fatigue resistance. However, damage caused by high‐velocity impacts is a critical limitation factor in a wide range of applications. This paper presents an overview of the development, material characterizations, and applications of fiber‐reinforced textile composites for aero engines. These textile composites are classified into four categories including two‐dimensional (2D) woven composites, 2D braided composites, 3D woven composites, and 3D braided composites. The complex damage mechanisms of these composite materials due to high‐velocity impacts are discussed in detail as well.

“…Numerous studies have therefore been carried out to improve low-velocity impact response of composites from the structural design such as ply-stacking sequence [7,8], ply thickness design [9,10], 3D structure design [11,12]. Compared to 2D laminated composites, 3D orthogonal woven composites (3DOWCs) can improve the delamination behavior due to the presence of through-thickness Z-binder yarns [13][14][15][16]. In addition, ber hybridization is also an effective method of improving impact resistance, as reported in Refs.…”

3D orthogonal woven composites are receiving increasing attention with the ever-growing market of composites industries. New challenge what we face to is how the damage tolerance improve in such composites with orthogonal and layer-to-layer structure under both mechanical and extreme environment. In this paper, a novel impact damage suppression strategy is proposed by combining structural and electromagnetic properties to realize advanced functionalities. An integrated experimental platform is designed with a power system, a drop-testing machine and data acquisition devices to investigate the synergistic effects of pulse current and impact force on composites. Experimental results exhibit that pulse current can effectively reduce delamination damage and residual deformation. A multi-field coupled damage model is developed to analyze the evolutions of temperature, current and damage. The microcrack formation and extrusion deformation in yarns causes the local current redistribution in carbon fibers, and its interaction with the self-field produces an obvious anti-impact effect. The obtained results reveal the mechanism of damage suppression and provide a potential orientation for improving damage tolerance of these composites.

“…Composite materials are widely used in various fields including aerospace, ship, wind energy and construction due to their advantages of light weight, outstanding performance and flexible designability [1][2][3][4][5][6]. 3D woven composites possess higher interlaminar properties and impact damage tolerance than traditional laminated composites depending on their binder warp yarns in the thickness direction, which can maintain the structural integrity of the whole material [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. The composites in service often suffer from low-velocity impact (LVI) damages due to the impact of tools, hail, runway sand, etc The tiny marks left on the surface of the materials are visually difficult to detect or barely detectable, and a lot of damages even occur inside the materials.…”

The failure mechanism of 3D woven composites subjected to compression loading along principal/off-axis direction after low-velocity impact (LVI) was assessed by experimental and numerical methods. The low-velocity impacts under 26.8 J and 80 J energies were applied to the specimens with off-axis angles of 0° and 45°. It can be observed that the impact damages are direction-dependent, which is determined by the weft and warp orientations. By performing the compression-after-impact (CAI) tests, it is found that the CAI strength along principal direction is more sensitive to the low-velocity impact than that along off-axis direction. A finite element dynamic analytical method was established, considering four off-axis angles (0°, 30°, 45° and 60°). The results show that the extension direction of the impact damage changes regularly with the off-axis angle. During the compression, the small off-axis angle can make the specimen prone to produce a sudden crushing failure determined by the fiber failure due to the high axial stress. As the off-axis angle increases, the matrix damage gradually holds the dominant position due to the growing shear effect, which makes the specimen produce a ductile failure governed by the accumulated matrix failure.
