Dynamic bridging response of through-thickness reinforcement in composite laminates

Cui, Hao; Melro, António R.; Mahadik, Yusuf; Yasaee, Mehdi; Allegri, Giuliano; Partridge, Ivana K.; Hallett, Stephen R.; Petrinic, Nik (International Committee on Composite Materials, 2017-12-31)

The present experimental study aims to extend the understanding of delamination crack bridging mechanisms in Z-pinned laminates subjected to highly dynamic loading conditions. The bridging response of single Z-pins was ...
Dynamic inter-fibre failure of unidirectional composite laminates with through-thickness reinforcement

Cui, Hao; Yasaee, Mehdi; Melro, António R. (Elsevier, 2019-04-03)

Unidirectional composite laminates reinforced in the thickness direction with Z-pins are tested in tension and compression with different off-axis angles at high loading rate. A split Hopkinson bar setup and a high speed ...
Inter-fibre failure of through-thickness reinforced laminates in combined transverse compression and shear load

Cui, Hao; Melro, António R.; Yasaee, Mehdi (Elsevier, 2018-06-13)

Extensive studies have been reported on the improvement of through-thickness reinforcement to inter-laminar performance of composite laminates; current understanding on the in-plane performance is relatively limited, ...
