Factors Affecting Tensile Performance of 2D & 3D Angle Interlock Woven Fabric Composite: A Review

In recent years, textile composite are widely utilized as structural components in the area of aerospace, civil engineering, protective armour and automotive applications. Textiles structures become increasingly significant for composites application due to strength to weight factor. [1-4]. Various textile materials are extensively used such as fibres, yarns and fabrics. Commonly, textile composite structures are characterized according to the textile preform architecture either it is a conventional 2D laminated structure or 3D textile structural laminated composite [2]. Comparative studies between both types have suggested that 3D textile structure exhibit superior mechanical performance in tensile strength, impact resistance, flexural, delamination resistance, high fracture tolerance [1, 5, 6].
