Tensile Properties of Z-Pin Reinforced Laminates with Circumferentially Notched Z-Pins

This paper describes experimental investigations on the in-plane tensile properties of unidirectional carbon-fibre/epoxy laminates reinforced with circumferentially notched z-pins with different notch designs. From the results it can be concluded that the application of circumferential notches at th...
