“…Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are increasingly used in impact-resistant devices, automotives, biomedical applications and aircraft structures due to their high strength-to-weight ratios and their potential for impact energy absorption [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. FRP composites are often treated as softening materials, i.e., materials that show a reduction of the load-carrying capacity accompanied by increasing (localized) deformations after reaching the maximum load-carrying capacity [ 11 , 12 ].…”

The application of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites is gaining increasing popularity in impact-resistant devices, automotives, biomedical devices and aircraft structures due to their high strength-to-weight ratios and their potential for impact energy absorption. Impact-induced high loading rates can result in significant changes of mechanical properties (e.g., elastic modulus and strength) before strain softening occurs and failure characteristics inside the strain localization zone (e.g., failure mechanisms and fracture energy) for fiber-reinforced polymer composites. In general, these phenomena are called the strain rate effects. The underlying mechanisms of the observed rate-dependent deformation and failure of composites take place among multiple length and time scales. The contributing mechanisms can be roughly classified as: the viscosity of composite constituents (polymer, fiber and interfaces), the rate-dependency of the fracture mechanisms, the inertia effects, the thermomechanical dissipation and the characteristic fracture time. Numerical models, including the viscosity type of constitutive models, rate-dependent cohesive zone models, enriched equation of motion and thermomechanical numerical models, are useful for a better understanding of these contributing factors of strain rate effects of FRP composites.

Composites reinforced with woven or braided textiles exhibit high structural stability and excellent damage tolerance thanks to yarn interlacing. With their high stiffness-to-weight and strength-to-weight ratios, braided composites are attractive for aerospace and automotive components as well as sports protective equipment. In these potential applications, components are typically subjected to multi-directional static, impact and fatigue loadings. To enhance material analysis and design for such applications, understanding mechanical behaviour of braided composites and development of predictive capabilities becomes crucial. Significant progress has been made in recent years in development of new modelling techniques allowing elucidation of static and dynamic responses of braided composites. However, because of their unique interlacing geometric structure and complicated failure modes, prediction of damage initiation and its evolution in components is still a challenge. Therefore, a comprehensive literature analysis is presented in this work focused on a review of the state-of-the-art progressive damage analysis of braided composites with finite-element simulations. Recently models employed in the studies on mechanical behaviour, impact response and fatigue analyses of braided composites are presented systematically. This review highlights the importance, advantages and limitations of as-applied failure criteria and damage evolution laws for yarns and composite unit cells. In addition, this work provides a good reference for future research on FE simulations of braided composites.

“…18 Three dimensional (3 D) woven fabrics provide better reinforcement through the thickness direction of composite structures than 2 D fabrics due to their high inter-laminar strength and structural integrity, and more recently, the investigation of 3 D fabrics as reinforcement for composites draws increasing attention in the composites community. 19–21 3 D woven fabrics are integrated woven spacer composites typically consist of two discrete fabric layers and an integrated hollow core. 22 Wang et al.…”

Whereas most previous studies have focused on improving the penetration resistance of Shear Thickening Fluids (STFs) treated composites, in this study, the dynamic compressive response of single and multi-ply 3 D E-Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) composites with the STF matrix was investigated by using a drop-weight low-velocity impact test. The experimental results revealed the STF improved the compressive and cushioning performance of the composites such that with increasing its concentration, further improvement was observed. The five-ply composite containing the STF of 30 wt% silica nanoparticles and 1 wt% carbon nanotubes (CNTs) reduced the applied peak force by 56% and 26% compared to a steel plate and five-ply neat samples, respectively. A series of repeated impacts was performed, and it was found that the performance of high-concentration composites is further decreased under this type of loading.
