Delamination and compression-after-impact properties of z-pinned composite laminates reinforced with circumferentially notched z-pins

Andre Knopp et al.

Summary: The investigations conducted in this study demonstrate that the properties of z-pin reinforced laminates can be positively influenced by using circumferentially notches as a defined z-pin surface micro-structuring. The fracture mechanical properties under Mode-I crack opening loading can be significantly improved and the resulting delamination areas that occur during an impact can be effectively reduced. The residual strength properties of pinned laminates are also more favorable and can be further enhanced with the use of circumferentially notched z-pins.

High-fidelity modeling of 3D woven composites considering inhomogeneous intra-yarn fiber volume fractions

Zengfei Liu et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a high-fidelity modeling approach for accurately predicting the strength of 3D woven composites. The approach considers realistic mesoscale architectures and inhomogeneous intra-yarn fiber volume fractions along the yarn path. By numerically reconstructing the unit cell model and utilizing algorithms, the modeling accuracy is improved. The results show that considering inhomogeneous intra-yarn fiber volume fractions can improve the predictive accuracy.

Damage mechanisms in the CAI failure of thin z-pinned composite laminates

L. Francesconi et al.

Summary: This paper reports on an experimental investigation into the compression after impact (CAI) performance of thin z-pinned carbon-epoxy laminates. The damage induced by impact and the damage mechanisms leading to CAI failure were characterized. The study shows that the effect of z-pins on the post-impact strength of the laminates depends on the energy of the impact.

Effect of Z-pin insertion angles on low-velocity impact mechanical response and damage mechanism of CFRP laminates with different layups

Haowei Zhang et al.

Summary: The experimental results demonstrate that as the Z-pin insertion angles decrease, the impact resistance is reduced, and this phenomenon is more significant in cross-ply laminates compared with quasi-isotropic layups. Additionally, 60-degree pinned cross-ply laminates show asymmetrical delamination.

Unfolding the effects of tuft density on compression after impact properties in unidirectional carbon/epoxy composite laminates

Kundan K. Verma et al.

Summary: The study investigates the post impact compressive residual strength of epoxy-based composite laminates in the presence of through-thickness reinforcement (TTR) introduced using tufting technique. Results demonstrate a significant reduction in damaged area and an increase in residual strength with increasing tuft density up to 0.56%, attributed to the bridging effect of TTR enhancing the interlaminar strength.

Effect of Z-pin inclined angle on the impact damage suppression effectiveness for cross-ply composite laminates

Binbin Liao et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of Z-pins on the low velocity impact performance of composite laminates. It was found that although Z-pins could not delay delamination initiation, they were able to enhance resistance to penetration, with 0 degrees Z-pinning showing better effectiveness in suppressing delamination damage and internal defects.
