3D weaving process has been more and more used as reinforcement for composite materials. However, 3D weaving applications are recent and the mechanical properties of the 3D warp interlock fabrics are not well known. Tensile tests have been performed both in the warp and weft directions of the fabrics, indeed they lead to different behaviour regarding the architecture. Results from experiments have been statistically analysed using PLS regression. This study led to correlations between fabrics parameters and mechanical behaviour. Moreover, it revealed that fabrics parameters such as the binding type, the yarns crimp and the picks density have influence on the quasi-static mechanical behaviour.
