The objectives of this study are to evaluate the internal damage and compressive residual strength of composite laminate by impact loading. To investigate the environmental effects, as-received and accelerated-aged glass/phenolic laminates are used. UT C-Scan is used to determine the impact damage characteristics and CAI tests are carried out to evaluate quantitatively the reduction of compressive strength by impact loading. The damage modes of the woven glass/phenolic laminates are evaluated. In the case of the accelerated-aged laminates, as aging time increases, initial failure energy and residual compressive strength decrease.

Z-pins reinforced 2D ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), integratedly designed new materials, are developed to enhance 2D CMCs through-thickness in the form of Z-pins and to ensure significant increase in interlaminar fracture toughness, delamination resistance and impact resistance, and Z-pins reinforced 2D CMCs have much application. A manual pre-stitching method is developed to make holes in the graphite fixture to control Z-pins row spacings and to introduce yarns of 3000 T300 carbon fibers bundle into a preform. Z-pins reinforced woven CMCs for research were manufactured successfully by repeatedly using chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) to infiltrate SiC matrix into woven preform and carbon fiber sutures. It is shown that this method of manufactured Z-pins reinforced woven CMC is feasible.

In this article, a finite element model of multi-layer composite laminates with delamination based on higher order zig-zag theory is studied for the progressive delamination analysis. The degrees of freedom are simplified by the continuity conditions of shear stress between layers and the free-surface conditions at the bottom and top of laminates. The numbers of degrees of freedom are not reduced with this method while the model can take the initiation of delamination into consideration in return. Static loading analysis is implemented to simulate the performance in delamination resistance with two different plies and under two different boundary conditions. The present model can present good performance in the prediction of delamination phenomenon.

Through-thickness stitching is one of the most effective techniques to improve the delamination resistance of composite laminates. The effects of two different stitching patterns on the mode-I interlaminar fracture toughness of unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) are examined experimentally in the present paper by using the double cantilever beam (DCB) test method. It is found that the zigzag stitching pattern results in a better toughening effect than the straight line pattern, and that the stitching density also has a considerable influence on the mode-I fracture toughness.
