Finite element analyses of mode I interlaminar delamination in z-fibre reinforced composite laminates.

Grassi, Marcello; Zhang, Xiang (Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam., 2003-09-01)

This paper presents a detailed numerical study of the mode I interlaminar fracture of carbon/epoxy composite laminates with z-ﬁbre reinforcement. The study was performed using a double cantilever beam conﬁguration. A ...
Improvement of low-velocity impact and compression-after-impact performance by z-fibre pinning.

Zhang, Xiang; Hounslow, L; Grassi, Marcello (Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam., 2006-12-01)

Z-fibre® pinning is a new method of through-thickness reinforcement of laminated composites. This paper presents an experimental test and theoretical analysis on how and why these pins can improve the resistance to impact ...
Numerical modelling of composite laminates with through-thickness-reinforcements

Grassi, Marcello (Cranfield University, 2004-03)

The main objective of the present research study was to develop numerical models to investigate the mechanical properties and effectiveness of z-fibre reinforced laminates. A survey of relevant literature on through-thickness ...
Prediction of stiffness and stresses in z-fibre reinforced composite laminates

Grassi, Marcello; Zhang, Xiang; Meo, Michele (Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam., 2002-12-01)

The mechanical properties of z-pinned composite laminates were examined numerically. Finite element calculations have been performed to understand how the through-thickness reinforcement modifies the engineering elastic ...
