Improving the mode I delamination fatigue resistance of composites using z-pins
Abstract
This paper presents an experimental investigation into the mode I interlaminar fracture toughness and fatigue resistance of carbon fibre–epoxy laminate reinforced in the through-thickness direction with z-pins. The effects of the volume content, diameter and length of z-pins on the interlaminar toughness, fatigue resistance, and crack bridging toughening mechanisms are determined. The delamination crack growth rate under cyclic interlaminar...
