Abstract

Mode II delamination toughness of z-pin reinforced composite laminates is investigated using the finite element (FE) method. The z-pin pullout process is simulated by the deformation and breakage of non-linear springs. A critical shear stress criterion based on linear elastic
fracture mechanics is used to simulate crack growth in an end-notched flexure (ENF) beam made of z-pinned laminates. The mode II toughness is quantified by the potential energy
release rate calculated using the contour integral method. This FE model is verified for an unpinned ENF composite beam. Numerical results obtained indicate that z-pins can
significantly increase the mode II delamination toughness of composite laminate. The effects of design variables on the toughness enhancement of z-pinned laminates are also studied, which provide an important technological base and useful data to optimise and improve the z-pinning technique.
