Three dimensional (3D) woven composites have attracted the interest of academia and industry thanks to their damage tolerance characteristics and automated fabric manufacturing. Although much research has been conducted to investigate their out-of-plane "through thickness" properties, still their in-plane properties are not fully understood and rely on extensive experimentation. To date, the literature lacks an inclusive summary of the mechanical characterisation for 3D woven composites. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of the available research studies on 3D woven composites mechanical characterisation, with less emphasis on the outof-plane response, but an in-depth review of the in-plane response "un-notched vs. notched". The paper highlights the knowledge gap in the literature of 3D woven composites, suggesting opportunities for future research in this field and a room for improvement in utilising Non-Destructive Techniques (NDT), such as Digital Image Correlation (DIC), Acoustic Emission (AE) and X-ray Computed Tomography (CT), for observing damage initiation and evolution in 3D woven composites that could be used to calibrate and evaluate analytical and numerical models.

3D woven fiber/epoxy composites as structural components have attracted great attention in the industrial and civil fields due to high resistance to debonding or delamination. Structural components are often subjected to the conditions of cyclic loading, which detrimentally affect the service-life and damage tolerance. In this research, the fatigue properties of 3D woven fiber/epoxy structural composites were discussed, where 3D woven fabrics were embedded in epoxy matrix to enhance their mechanical properties. 3D woven fabrics were classified by the geometrical structures of repeat vertical and inclined units. Based on the testing method, the fatigue properties of corresponding composites have been reviewed. The influence of the internal and external parameters on the fatigue properties were investigated by using various observation methods, and the failure modes were also analyzed. The theorical prediction models were reviewed according to testing method, and future trends and challenges were discussed. The critical review can provide valuable ideas and guidance for future fatigue studies in 3D woven composites.

The value for C 23 is recalculated according to the equation (13). This is the unadapted 95 property set.…”

The meso-scale, where fibre bundles and matrix are distinguished, is an intermediate scale for woven [7,8,9,10] or braided [11,12,13] composites.…”

In this work the possibility to reverse engineer the transverse isotropic carbon fibre properties from the 3D homogenized elastic tensor of the UD ply for the prediction of woven ply properties is explored. Ultrasonic insonification is used to measure the propagation velocity of both the longitudinally and transversally polarized bulk waves at various symmetry planes of a unidirectional (UD) Carbon/Epoxy laminate. These velocities and the samples' dimensions and density are combined to obtain the full 3D orthotropic stiffness tensor of the ply. The properties are subsequently used to reverse engineer the stiffness tensor, assumed to be transversely isotropic, of the carbon fibres. To this end, four micro-scale homogenization methods are explored: 2 analytical models (Mori-Tanaka and Mori-Tanaka-Lielens), 1 semi-empirical (Chamis) and 1 finite-element (FE) homogenization (randomly distributed fibres in a Representative Volume Element). Next, the identified fibre properties are used to predict the elastic parameters of UD plies with multiple fibre volume fractions. These are then used to model the fibre bundles (yarns) in a meso-scale FE model of a plain woven carbon/epoxy material. Finally, the predicted elastic response of the woven carbon/epoxy is compared to the experimentally obtained elastic stiffness tensor. The predicted and measured properties are in good agreement. Some discrepancy exists between the ultrasonically measured value of the Poisson's ratio and the predicted value.Nonetheless, it is shown that virtual identification and prediction of mechanical properties for woven plies is feasible.
