A Comparative Experimental Investigation of 3D Angle-Interlock Woven Composite between Quasi-Static Tension and Three-Point Bending Loading Conditions

Abstract:

As one new kind of 3D textile structural composite which has a strong potential in the application field of structural engineering, the mechanical behavior of 3D angle-interlock woven composite (3DAWC) needs to be extensively investigated. In this paper, a comparative experimental analysis of 3DAWC between quasi-static tension and three-point bending loading conditions were described, which has not been well studied so far. To evaluate the mechanical properties of the 3DAWC, the stress-strain/deflection curves were obtained under quasi-static tension and three-point bending loading, respectively. Furthermore, the Young’s modulus and peak values in stress were also compared. All of these results show that the 3DAWC has good integral performance.
