Abstract:

To enhance the joint strength on interface between the skin and the stiffener of polymer composites' hat stiffener wall structure, the 3D reinforcing technology of Z-pin is used for hat stiffener wall joints. Hat joint specimens reinforced with different configurations of Z-pin are manufactured and tested by tensile, the mechanism reinforced with Z-pin is analyzed and the effects of the volume fraction, diameter of the Z-pin and load span on the joint performance on interface between the skin and the stiffener are investigated. It turns out:when Z-pin's diameter is 0.5 mm and implant angle is 90°, the joint strength increases with Z-pin volume fraction increasing from 0% to 1.0%, but its increase trend slows down with Z-pin volume fraction increasing, the strength of hat joint with Z-pin fraction of 1.0% is higher than that without Z-pinned by 31.1%, thus the Z-pinned hat joints pull-off strength decreases with Z-pin volume fraction from 1.0% to 1.5%. The effect of the diameter of Z-pin on the pull-off strength of hat joint is not significant. With the increasing of the load span, the pull-off strength of hat joints reinforced with Z-pin fraction of 0.5% (diameter of 0.5 mm) decreases with the failure model transforming.
