Delamination Fatigue Properties of Z-Pinned Composites

Abstract:

This paper presents an experimental investigation into the mode I interlaminar 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 growth rate also slowed when the volume content or length of the z-pins was increased or the z-pin diameter was reduced.
