Experimental Investigation into the Mechanical Behavior of Textile Composites with Various Fiber Reinforcement Architectures

The role of fiber reinforcement architecture in adjusting the mechanical properties of glass-fiber-reinforced epoxy composite materials is studied. Fibrous E-glass unidirectional (UD) and 3-dimensional (3D) samples with an identical fiber volume fraction were prepared. The UD composites displayed ex...

Description
Summary:The role of fiber reinforcement architecture in adjusting the mechanical properties of glass-fiber-reinforced epoxy composite materials is studied. Fibrous E-glass unidirectional (UD) and 3-dimensional (3D) samples with an identical fiber volume fraction were prepared. The UD composites displayed excellent properties along the fiber direction, but the 3D ones showed excellent properties in all three directions. The high delamination and impact resistances were additional advantages of 3D-reinforced composites to choose them as reliable materials for structural applications.
