Fatigue of 3D textile-reinforced composites
Abstract
This chapter discusses the cyclic stress fatigue behaviour of textile polymer composites with three-dimensional (3D) fibre architectures. The fatigue properties of 3D woven, stitched, tufted, z-anchored and z-pinned composites are discussed, and compared to 2D textile laminates. The chapter discusses the in-plane fatigue properties, delamination fatigue properties and fatigue strengthening mechanisms of 3D textile composites. Also discussed is the fatigue response of 3D textile joints. Gaps in the understanding of the fatigue response of 3D textile composite materials and structures are discussed.
