Effect of Interlocking Patterns on the Auxeticity and Mechanical Performance of 3D Woven Structures

Puntos clave

• Enhanced auxeticity was observed in 3D woven structures with interlocking patterns.
• Mechanical performance metrics indicated significant improvements when interlocking patterns were applied.
• Assessment of deformation characteristics showed a notable correlation with the design of the interlocking patterns.
• These findings suggest that optimizing interlocking patterns could lead to superior material properties, though practical applications need further exploration.
