Abstract
3D woven fabric-reinforced composites (3DWFRCs) offer excellent structural integrity, impact resilience, and strength-to-weight ratios, making them ideal for advanced lightweight engineering applications. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effects of binder yarn pathways, stuffer–binder ratios, and inter-yarn cross-overs on out-of-plane and in-plane impact responses under low-velocity conditions in six different 3D weave structures with a consistent areal density. This study investigated the out-of-plane impact properties of 3DWFRCs across 16–50 J energies, revealing how weave architectures affect damage tolerance, including rebound, penetration, and perforation thresholds. The orthogonal matt 3×3 (4SLORMT3) weave, with the fewest inter-yarn cross-over points, demonstrated superior low-velocity impact performance, highlighting the crucial role of nonlinear inter-yarn friction dynamics in enhancing composite impact resistance. A parallel trend was observed in the through-thickness angle-interlock weave structures, with 4SLANTW (angle-interlock twill 3×3) outperforming 4SLANPL (angle-interlock plain 1×1), attributed to its elongated binder yarn float length and fewer inter-yarn cross-over points. An X-ray micro-computed tomography scan was used for non-destructive testing to measure impact toughness and demonstrate the extent of damage resulting from a projectile impact at 3.14 m/s. Furthermore, compression-after-Impact tests were carried out on those perforated specimens, to provide a comprehensive evaluation of their damage tolerance. When subjected to a pendulum impact at 3.54 m/s and 11 J, the 4SLORPL weave, which has 350 inter-yarn cross-over points, exhibits exceptional resistance to edgewise impact force. This is attributed to the heightened inter-yarn friction, which accentuates energy dissipation and facilitates effective stress distribution.
