description Z-pin through-thickness reinforcement is used to improve the impact resistance of composite structures; however, the effect of loading rate on Z-pin behaviour is not well understood. The dyna mic response of Z-pins in mode I and II delamination of quasi-isotropic IM7/8552 laminates was characterized experimentally in this work. Z-pinned samples were loaded at both quasi-static and dynamic rates, up to a separation velocity of 12 m/s. The efficiency of Z-pins in mode I delamination decreased with loading rate, which was mainly due to the change in the pin misalignment, the failure surface morphology and to inertia. The Z-pins failed at small displacements in the mode II loading experiments, resulting in much lower energy dissipation in comparison with the mode I case. The total energy dissipation decreased with increasing loading rate, while enhanced interfacial friction due to failed pins may be largely responsible for the higher energy dissipation in quasi-static experiments.
