Our 1001 Project on 3D woven composites is completed!

Our 3-year 1001 research project is closed in February 1st, 2023, which was funded by The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkiye. Now it is time for the report submission, and dissemination activities which are not limited to: two ready-to-submit journal articles, and one submitted conference proceeding.

It was an enlightening experience for us to:

• design the 3D woven fabric architecture with TEX-TECH aiming for an increased performance in dynamic loadings up to 150 J impact
• investigate the novel damage behavior and sequence occurring in the inter-ply hybrid and intra-ply hybrid 3D woven composites under flexure loading
• work on advanced VARI to produce highly impregnated fabric
• conduct extensive meso-scale and macro-scale finite element analyses on the unit cells and tested components

Stay tuned for the updates and forthcoming papers and new projects on these materials to further extend the know-how!
