The mechanical behaviors of 3D woven composite exhibits obvious size effect and slight strain rate effect.rnThe size dependency of 3D woven composite differs from the unidirection composite.rnThis work provides valuable insights into the determination of dynamic properties for 3D woven composites, and the designing and interpretation of dynamic test.rn
