The MV decreases slightly with a higher fiber VF (0.7 and 0.87); this was due to the inefficient wetting of the BF with the EP at higher VF. The inefficient wetting was evident in the fractured samples. Further increases of the VF after 0.5 gives more or less the same MV of the TS. When the number of layers were increased, there was more yielding on the part of the FCWBF. This was attributed to the effect of the BF bundles. Even after the failure of the EFI, the woven BF resist the complete failure of the FCWBF leading to yielding, unlike in the case of short FCWBF two unique positions exist in the FCWBF. One was the interstitial position, which is surrounded with four different yarns, and the other one was the undulated position, which was defined as the point of intersection of the warp and the fill yarns. Compared with the other regions, these positions become EF-rich regions in the FCWBF. The MV of TS made out of two-layer open WAR was found to be lower than that of FCWBF due out of the two-layer closed WAR. The increase in the gap size has a two-fold effect. first, it leads to straightening of the yarns and thereby increases the Young’s moduli up to an optimum value and, second, it reduces the absolute quantity of the fiber available for taking the load. However, the reduction in the absolute quantity of the fiber brings about a lowering of the TS in the case of open WAR. The explanation for the higher TS, observed in the case of the two-layer composites with the closed-WAR pattern, is applicable in this case also. \\ \cline{2-6}  & Moreover, this observation supports the fact that the FCWBF failure is determined by the crack initiation in the matrix-rich region of the FCWBF, namely the interstitial and the undulated regions. An increase of 23\% was observed for the MV of two-layer FCWBF with closed WAR in comparison with the two-layer FCWBF with open WAR. When these three-layer fabric was used, again, the trend was the same, i.e., a higher value is obtained in the case of the closed-WAR fabric than the open-WAR fabric. FCWBF with 4 layers and with open WAR could not be manufactured due to the lack of the open WAR. Better MP were observed for FCWBF where the samples were tested in the direction of the wet BF, where a greater number of layers existed in the wet BF direction. This could be explained because the fabric was not balanced, and more BF was available in the wet direction than in the warp direction. In addition, this can be due to the difference in the crack propagation pattern. The number of layers as well as the layering pattern affects the IS. The MV for IS was obtained for FCWBF with 4 layers (VF=0.87). The FCWBF failure was due to excessive bending deformations, leading to a mode with bending stiffness mismatch and reinforcement orientation differences between the adjacent piles. The MV of FS was found to be maximum for FCWBF with 3 layers. The lower value for FCWBF with 4 layers was attributed to the inefficient wetting of the fabric. FM increases with the number of layers and was found to be maximum for the FCWBF made out of 4 layers with a closed-WAR and was the lowest for FCWBF with 4 layers. For 2 layers of FCWBF, bending-induced stresses are compensated to an extent by the reversible manner in which the interlacing yarns respond. \\ \hline \multirow{4}{*}{Authors Findings} & The MV of IS of the FCWBF showed a considerable improvement with the increase in the number of layers and VF of BF. The MV of IS was found to be for FCWBF with 4 layers (alternate arrangement of warp and wet BF) and with a closed WAR (VF=0.87%). The number of layers as well as the layering pattern affects the IS. The maximum IS has been observed for FCWBF with fabric alternatively arranged in the transverse and longitudinal directions. In this type of arrangement, maximum energy dissipation occurs because the impact energy will be dissipated by the delamination between the layers as well. When the fabric is arranged in the same direction, crack propagation becomes easier because the resin-rich regions will be closer to each other. This can very well be interpreted as the reason for the higher IS for composites with the given arrangement. These results showed the important role of the VF and the studied arrangement on the FCWBF. When the VF increased, more energy will have to be used up to break the coupling between the interlaced BF bundles. For BE, the fibrillation also takes place with impact damage and an increase in the VF content uses up more energy for fibrillation. \\ \hline \hline \end{tabular}
