The present work investigates the potential of developing bio-composites based on thermoplastic polymers reinforced with natural fibres by using hybrid yarns. The hybrid yarns were produced by the wrapping technique, in which a multifilament of polyamide 11 (PA11) was wrapped around an untreated low-twisted hemp roving to produce a yarn with sufficient tenacity and stiffness for the next step of weaving. The tensile behaviour of the wrapped yarns was identified both in the dry- and thermo-state. Then, two different fabrics were woven and tested to study the influence of yarn densities and weave diagrams on the tensile and flexural properties. At this fabric scale, properties of fabrics made from hybrid yarns were compared with those of fabrics from a previous study made from 100% hemp roving. Composites made from these fabrics, with stacking of two cross-plies, were produced by thermocompression and characterised regarding mechanical strength.

This work aims to investigate the physical and mechanical properties of sisal fiber and yarn of Moroccan origin. The cellulosic and non-cellulosic constituents of the Moroccan sisal fiber were identified by FTIR spectroscopy. The thermal properties were studied by thermogravimetric analysis. The hydrophilicity of the fiber was evaluated by the contact angle. The results show that the sisal fiber has a low thermal stability. The mechanical properties of the fiber analyzed by the Impregnated Fiber Bundle Test (IFBT) method show that the porosity of the impregnated yarns and the twist angle of the yarns influence the elastic modulus of the sisal fiber. The physical and mechanical properties of the manufactured sisal yarns were also characterized and analyzed. The obtained results reveal an interesting potential to use the Moroccan sisal fiber in development of bio-sourced composite materials.

Micro-braiding and co-wrapping techniques have been developed over a few decades and have made important contributions to biocomposites development. In this present study, a set of flax/polypropylene (PP) micro-braided and co-wrapped yarns was developed by varying different PP parameters (PP braiding angles and PP wrapping turns, respectively) to get different flax/PP mass ratios. The effects on textile and mechanical characteristics were studied thoroughly at the yarn scale, both dry- and thermo-state tensile tests were carried out, and tensile properties were compared before and after the braiding process to study the braidabilities. It was observed that PP braiding angles of micro-braided yarn influenced the frictional damage on surface treatment agent of flax roving, the cohesive effect between PP filaments/flax roving, and the PP cover factor; PP wrapping turns of co-wrapped yarn had a strong impact on the flax roving damage and the PP coverage, which further influenced the characteristics. Micro-braided yarn and co-wrapped yarn with the same flax/PP mass ratio were compared to evaluate the two different hybrid yarn production techniques; it was proven that micro-braided yarn presented better performance.

Fabrics constructed from 3 D warp interlock fabrics (3DWIFs) structures provide varying flexibility and durability and are promising structures for protective applications. However, its performance toward stab resistance from knife attack should be investigated before applying. In this work, the influences of fabric architectures, ply orientation of stacking sequences, and the number of fabric plies on the dynamic stab resistance are comparatively studied on high-molecular-weight polyethylene (HMWPE) 3DWIFs. It indicates that 3DWIF with orthogonal and through-the-thickness interlock structure reveals a helpful influence on stab resistance. Further investigation on the influence of different ply orientation of stacking sequences, based on the combination of fabrics placed at different angles, is analyzed showing a certain influence of stab resistance. Dynamic stab resistance reveals the linear correlation with a low number of fabric plies (less than 6 plies), but shows a parabolic relationship with the increase of fabric plies (more than 16 plies) until there is no penetration.

This study focuses on the development and mechanical testing of a quasi-unidirectional woven hemp fabric for composite applications. The fabric is designed to combine the advantages of easy handling, impregnability by resin and fiber alignment. In this sense, low twisted rovings, low crimping characteristics and a high roving density in the main direction were used. The results show that the manufacturing process proposed for this highly unbalanced woven fabric is less aggressive than that for a balanced pattern, and the effective tensile properties of the fibers are preserved. This innovative hemp fabric is also used to manufacture unidirectional and cross-ply laminated composites. The results indicate competitive properties relative to those of commercial flax-based reinforcements with rigidities similar to those of composites made with quasi-unidirectional woven fabrics, non-crimp fabrics and tapes.

Natural fibers are used to produce environmental-friendly composites with good specific mechanical and acoustical properties. Production of woven reinforcement from natural fibers is challenging because of the distinct length of the fibers. A lot of parameters at fiber extraction, spinning and weaving stages have an impact on the composite produced. The purpose of this paper is to study the influence of yarn type and weave diagram on the mechanical properties of woven fabrics, in terms of tensile and shear behavior and deformability at forming. It was observed that weft density is one of the most impacting parameters during forming.

As promising fibrous reinforcements in the thick composites manufacturing, 3-dimensional warp interlock fabrics (3DWIFs) are recognised more and more in the industry for their outstanding mechanical properties compared to the 2D laminates. The present work shows the influence of the fabric’s architecture on the tensile behaviour of 3DWIFs. Five kinds of 3D fabrics with different interlock structures have been designed according to the main category of binding warp yarn evolution. These five 3DWIFs, containing both binding and stuffer warp yarns and produced with the same warp and weft densities, are experimentally tested via uniaxial tensile tests. The experimental results of the different 3DWIFs have been compared to find the optimal solution based on several mechanical performances. Fabric structures have an impact on tensile properties both in the warp and weft directions. Furthermore, other influential factors, for example, the yarn crimps during the weaving process and the crimp angles of binding warp yarns in 3DWIFs, are investigated and discussed in the paper. The influence of the total crimp angles related to the binding path on the tensile properties of 3DWIFs via the inter yarns friction is summarised.

The present study focuses on the experimental and analytical analysis of the deformability behaviour of the triaxial braided fabrics during forming. The mechanical model of the yarns based on the parameters of the reinforcements and the forming process was discussed. On the other hand, the geometric model related to the braiding angle was proposed to describe the yarns and the reinforcement deformations and to predict the yarns sliding. From the geometric model, the in-plane shearing and the material draw-in could also be predicted with respect to its magnitude and location on the braided fabric. It is clearly deduced from this study that the variation of deformability behaviours is directly impacted by the braiding angle, which is the crucial parameter for the braided fabrics.

The objective of this study is to develop hybrid hemp/thermoplastic roving adapted for composite manufacture. The hybrid roving has to be enough resistant to sustain the tension and abrasion stresses caused by the textile production processes. For this purpose, a multifilament of polyamide 12 is wrapped around a hemp roving. This wrapped roving is used to manufacture a woven preform then the composite plate is produced by thermocompression process. The textile properties and mechanical properties are characterized at each product scale roving, preform and composite. Microscopic observations are also made to evaluate the impregnation quality of the hemp composite.

Multiscale characterization of the textile preform made of natural fibers is an indispensable way to understand and assess the mechanical properties and behavior of composite. In this study, a multiscale experimental characterization is performed on three-dimensional (3D) warp interlock woven fabrics made of flax fiber on the fiber (micro), roving (meso), and fabric (macro) scales. The mechanical tensile properties of the flax fiber were determined by using the impregnated fiber bundle test. The effect of the twist was considered in the back-calculation of the fiber stiffness to reveal the calculation limits of the rule of mixture. Tensile tests on dry rovings were carried out while considering different twist levels to determine the optimal amount of twist required to weave the flax roving into a 3D warp interlock. Finally, at fabric-scale, six different 3D warp interlock architectures were woven to understand the role of the architecture of binding rovings on the mechanical properties of the dry 3D fabric. The results reveal the importance of considering the properties of the fiber and roving at these scales to determine the more adequate raw material for weaving. Further, the characterization of the 3D woven structures shows the preponderant role of the binding roving on their structural and mechanical properties.

The feasibility to manufacture a 3D warp interlock preform from 1000 Tex flax roving is investigated by means of a prototype machine developed to GEMTEX laboratory. The provided flax roving has low tensile failure load because of lack of twist so it isn’t suitable for weaving. The first step was dedicated to improve the tensile properties of the roving through twisting process and identifies the optimal twist level. Experimental campaign is conducted by applying different twist level and evaluates the roving tensile properties. The ultimate tensile load increases as roving twist level increases until a threshold at which the tensile load declines as twist level increases. While the failure strain increases continuously as twist level increases. Five fabrics are produced with the same flax roving, 3D weave architecture and warp number and weft column number per unit length. Only the number of weft layers varies. The physical and tensile properties of these five flax fabrics are characterized experimentally. A considerable effect on the thickness and areal density of the fabric is reported. The difference in the waviness length between the two types of the warp roving (reinforcing and binding) has a significant impact on the tensile behavior of the fabrics in warp direction through the appearance of two phases on the force-strain curve. Otherwise, the variation of the number of layers does not induce a remarkable impact of the fabric structure on the tensile performance of the constituting roving.

In recent years, the research interest on three-dimensional warp interlock woven fabrics (3DWIFs) as reinforcement in composites is warranted and obtained popularity due to their advantages over two-dimensional laminated fabrics. The current literature tends to address the aspects of mechanical properties of 3DWIFs by experimental and numerical approaches. This review aims at providing an overview and comprehensive understanding of dry 3DWIFs. The filaments/yarns used, the common structures, and categories of 3DWIFs are reviewed. Recent characterizations of the mechanical performance of dry 3DWIFs are discussed. Theoretical and numerical models for predicting the mechanical properties of dry 3DWIFs are also delineated. The critical review can provide valuable ideas and guidance for future studies.

Recent developments in the field of bio-based composite materials are mainly focused on the use of unidirectional reinforcements. The production of woven fabrics and required yarns or rovings is still complex for composite applications due to the finite length of plant fibers and to the high number of process parameters which can be tuned. This study focused on the influence of weave pattern and process parameters on the resulting material properties at different scales. Results from mechanical characterizations and X-ray nanotomography show that very competitive tensile properties can be obtained for woven hemp fabric composites made from low-twisted rovings, in particular when compared to the front-runner flax cross-ply laminate.

As a relatively novel technique, tufting is recently used to provide through-thickness reinforcement of a traditional 2D multi-layered preform, thus improving its resistance to delamination in the final part. In order to optimize the manufacturing process of the composite preforms reinforced by tufting, the studies of the forming behaviour of these tufted preforms are quite necessary, in particular, the influence of the tufting pattern. The present paper investigates the formability of the circle-spiral and square-spiral tufted preforms during the hemispherical and square-box forming. The forming defects and the consistency between the tufting pattern and punch shape are mainly discussed. The experimental assessment demonstrates that the tufting pattern has an impact on the formability of tufted preform and can modify/remove the forming defects. Moreover, there is no significant importance to use the similar tufting pattern to the punch shape and the forming results depend on the number of the tufting points in the zone underlying the blank holder.

To date, nonwoven fabrics made with natural fibres and thermoplastic commingled fibres have been extensively used in the composite industry for a wide variety of applications. This paper presents an innovative study about the effect of the manufacturing parameters on the mechanical behaviour of flax/PP nonwoven reinforced composites. The mechanical properties of nonwoven fabric reinforced composites are related directly to the ones of dry nonwoven reinforcements, which depend strongly on the nonwoven manufacturing parameters, such as the needle-punching and areal densities. Consequently, the influence of these manufacturing parameters will be analysed through the tensile and flexural properties. The results demonstrated that the more areal density the nonwoven fabric has, the more the mechanical behaviour can be tested for composites. By contrast, it has a complex influence on needle-punching density on the load-strain and bending behaviours at the composite scale.

The first step in the composite manufacturing process consists of forming a flat textile reinforcing structure into a 3D shape. The quality of the final composite part is affected by the presence of defects induced during the forming process. Loss of cohesion in the woven fibre network (intra-ply yarn sliding) is a frequent defect in the forming process. It is expected when the cohesion between the yarns is weak or when the blank holder pressure is high. However, the mechanism of formation of this defect is not fully understood. In the present study, forming experiments with friction-based holder have been conducted for a monolayer twill woven carbon fabric in two orientations and for two plies of this fabric with different relative orientations. The occurrence of the intra-ply yarns sliding has been observed as a function of the blank holder pressure. A correlation between the occurrence of this defect and the fabric orientation has been noticed. Furthermore, the effect of the fabric orientation, number of plies, relative plies orientation and blank holder pressure on the recorded forming force and on the fabric in-plane shear is also reported and analysed.

In this paper, an experimental and numerical study of the preforming process of the G1151 carbon woven fabric reinforcement is presented. The experimental analysis was based on tensile and shear tests. These tests were important to analyse the behaviour of this particular woven reinforcement and to figure out some key phenomena related to its deformation process. The numerical modelling is implemented in the commercial FEM software (Abaqus) using a discrete finite element approach. The model is built using the concept of a “unit cell” formulated with a Hencky linear elastic shell/membrane elements coupled with axial connectors. The connectors replace bar and beam elements used in previous works and can have a linear or a non-linear behaviour. Shell finite elements are chosen to describe the in-plane shear stiffness and to manage contact phenomena. The model parameters identification technique is based on experimental constitutive tests and an inverse optimisation procedure. The model has been experimentally validated for the case of hemispherical single layer preforming of the G1151 woven fabric.
