“…The 3D tubular composite is a kind of structural element with reasonable force form. Tubular composites are considered as lightweight advanced textile materials due to their advantages of high specific stiffness, high specific strength and good corrosion resistance [1]. Its applications are mainly concentrated in aerospace, pipeline transportation, transmission shaft, and various structural framework fields [2][3].…”

In order to avoid the instability of composite materials laminated tube connection between layer and layer, with green basalt fiber as raw material, through the reasonable design, the special-shaped 3D (three-dimensional) tubular woven fabrics with two different thicknesses and shapes were fabricated on a semi-automatic sample loom with low cost. The special-shaped 3D tubular woven composites were fabricated by VARTM (vacuum assisted resin transfer molding) process. Load-displacement scatter plots and fitting curves and energy-displacement scatter plots and fitting curves were obtained by lateral compression tests. The results showed that the same shape,the load and energy absorption values increased with thickness and compression property was better. For the special-shaped 3D tubular woven composites with the same thickness, the load and energy absorption values of the circular tube was larger than the square tube. The correlation coefficients of load-displacement and energy-displacement polynomial fitting formulas calculated by the least square method in the Origin 8.5 software were all close to 1, indicated that the fitting effect was good. This method provided a direction for the research of special-shaped 3D tubular woven composites.

“…Another approach is to propose new 3D textile fabrics with different geometrical structures, and to analyze the feasibility of the process. Based on the symmetry group in crystallography, Ma et al [18][19][20] deduced a series of 3D textile fabric structures, and made basic research on their processing and meso-geometric structure. The effective elastic constants of these deduced composites were analyzed by considering the structural parameters of fabrics.…”

The application of three-dimensional angle-interlock woven composites (3DAC) as structure components in aerospace field creates tremendous demands for mechanical properties. A new kind of 3DAC with bidirectional fabric structure was proposed in this paper. The tensile properties of 3DAC and 3D bidirectional angle-interlock composites (3DBAC) were conducted by quasi-static tensile tests. According to three-point bending method, the flexural properties of 3DAC and 3DBAC were experimentally tested. The load–displacement curves of specimens showed that 3DBAC presented the better stability due to the higher noncrimp rate. The stress–strain curves indicated that the tensile modulus of elasticity in 3DBAC was larger than 3DAC, and the flexural modulus of 3DBAC gained an advantage over 3DAC. Based on the mesostructure of fabrics, the failure characterizations of specimens were analyzed. Results showed that the yarns in 3DBAC bear the maximum load, and the tensile fracture was regular. Through the analysis of crack morphologies, it is found that 3DBAC exhibits better flexural properties. The results supply the theoretical support for the manufacturing of structural components in the field of lightweight design.

“…It could enrich the varieties of 3D braided materials and optimize the performance of the braided composites. [17][18][19] However, fabrics with the same structure could be realized by different processes, which could hardly meet the development requirements of high-performance composites according to process classification. In addition, it is not conducive to the construction and research of the relationship between geometries and properties.…”

Three-dimensional textile fabrics are used as the reinforcing phase of the textile structural composites, and their geometry affect the physical and mechanical properties of composites. Based on the curvature and directions of the fiber tows in three-dimensional textile fabrics, four representative geometric units are proposed, namely, the orthogonal geometric unit, the curved geometric unit, the skew geometric unit, and the uniform distribution unit, respectively. Other units are the combinations or derivations of these representative geometric units. The relationship and performance characteristics of these representative geometric units are discussed in section “The relationship of RGUs.” The structural features of three-dimensional textile fabrics are illustrated on the mesoscopic scale, and the models are established to predict the geometric properties. The concepts of fabrics with stable structure, flexible structure, elastoplastic structure, and uniform structure are proposed. The fiber volume fractions and elastic characteristics of different structural fabrics are discussed. The classification of three-dimensional textile fabrics is conducive to investigate the relationship between geometry and property, forming a technical system and providing a theoretical basis for the selection of three-dimensional structural textile composites with different performance.
