Effect of Selective Z-Pinning on the Static and Fatigue Strength of Step Joints between Composite Adherends

The z-pinning reinforcement technique, which involves inserting thin pins through the body of a laminate, has proven highly effective in enhancing the strength of various composite joint configurations. This investigation aims to explore the enhancements achievable through selective z-pinning at ver...
