Three-dimensional (3D) fibre reinforcements for composites
A.P. Mouritz, RMIT University, Australia
Abstract:
An overview is presented into polymer matrix composites with three-dimensional fibre reinforcement. The applications, manufacturing processes, microstructure, mechanical and other properties of 3D fibre composites are reviewed. The materials examined are composites with three-dimensional woven, stitched, braided, z-pinned, tufted or z-anchored fibre reinforcements. Progress in the modelling and experimental characterisation of the material properties of 3D fibre composites is described, including delamination toughness, impact damage tolerance, in-plane mechanical properties, and joint properties. Progress in the characterisation ...
