Abstract
null null This paper presents an experimental and analytical study into the importance of the skin–flange thickness on the strengthening mechanics and fracture modes of z-pinned composite T-joints. The structural properties of unpinned and z-pinned carbon fibre–epoxy T-joints that had skin–flange thickness values between 2 mm (thin) and 8 mm (thick) were determined under tension (stiffener pull-off) loading. Experimental testing revealed that...
