Through the thickness mechanical properties of composites have been improved with the advance of 3D woven preforms incorporating through-thickness reinforcement element compared to 3D woven composites from stack of 2D fabrics. In this study, a generalized geometric model considering non-jammed and jammed constructions of 3D orthogonal woven preforms from spun yarns was developed to predict fiber volume fraction (FVF) of structure constituents, preform thickness, preform areal density, and minimum thread spacing (x-, y-, and z-yarn spacing) to achieve jammed construction in terms of weave factor, number of layers, and constituents’ variables (y- and z-yarn sequence, linear densities, packing factor, and fiber volumetric density). Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the generalized model potential as a design tool to achieve broad range of constituents FVF that controls composite performance.
