The broad range of applications of 3D textile reinforced composites requires an in-depth knowledge of their mechanical properties. Among those, the fatigue behaviour receives high demand in several industrial applications. In this chapter, some experimental investigations are summarized to assess the influence of the three-dimensional architecture of the preform on the fatigue properties and fatigue damage evolution. The considered composite materials were produced using epoxy resins reinforced with (1) non-crimp 3D orthogonal weave E-glass fabric, (2) 3D braided carbon fabric and (3) ...
