Double cantilever beam (DCB) and end notch flexure (ENF) tests were conducted on laminates stitched using the ITA one-sided technique with two different diameter threads. The DCB results showed the larger diameter produced higher fracture toughness, however, due to the higher stitch loads and variable stitch spacing some rows would break in pairs. This is not preferable for stable crack growth and...
In this paper, a new simple metallic z-rod model is proposed to study the bending effect of the metallic z-rods on mode II delamination toughness of laminated composites. A new transverse shear force–deformation relationship for a metallic z-rod is obtained by using the classical beam theory and modeling its surrounding matrix as linearly elastic, rigid–perfectly plastic or linearly elastic–perfectly...
