This paper presents a finite element (FE) analysis of the fracture behaviour of composite T-joints with various fibre reinforcement architectures subjected to pull-out loading. The FE model accounts for the effect of interface strength and interlaminar fracture energy on the ultimate load to failure; a linear softening fracture based law is adopted to describe crack growth in the form of delamination. The numerical simulation shows that the failure load increases with increasing interlaminar strength, which controls delamination initiation. The FE also demonstrates that the failure load increases with increasing interface fracture energy and the delamination propagation depends largely upon the fracture energy, which is enhanced by introducing interlaminar veils or through-thickness tuft yarns (stitching). Predictions were validated using experimental data for E-glass fibre/epoxy T-joints subjected to a tensile pull-out loading. The load-displacement response from the FE analysis is in a good agreement with measurements, illustrating the effectiveness of through thickness tufting that results to progressive, a more 'ductile', rather than abrupt catastrophic failure.
