摘要：

This paper presents an experimental and analytical study into the strengthening and toughening of sandwich composite joints by z-pinning. Cleats connecting the vertical stiffener and horizontal base panel to T-shaped sandwich joints were reinforced in the through-thickness direction with pins. Tensile (stiffener pull-off) tests revealed that pinning increased the ultimate fracture load and fracture energy by resisting crack growth along the cleat-skin and skin-core interfaces, which were the weakest points in the unpinned joint. The peak fracture load and fracture energy increased with the volume content of z-pins. The strengthening and toughening effect of the pins was analysed using multiple pin pull-out tests performed on the sandwich composite material. It is shown that elastic deformation, debonding and pull-out of the pins from the face skins to the sandwich composite is the primary toughening mechanism of the pinned T-joints. The pin pull-out process, which is the cause for the high strengthening and toughening of the T-joints, is analysed using bridging traction modelling. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
