This paper reports on the production and evaluation of a new class of “Z-axis” composite sandwich panel where the core consists of a dense array of vertically-aligned, 3 mm long E-glass fibre composite “beams”. The E-glass fibre bundles were aligned using electrostatic charging. A procedure was developed to retain the orientation of the short-fibre bundles whilst they were impregnated and cured with an epoxy/amine resin system. The skins were manufactured from 4-ply carbon/epoxy prepregs with a layup sequence of (0,90)s. The out-of-plane compressive strength of these Z-axis composites was found to be 25.2 and 15.2 times greater than equivalent sandwich panels made with Nomex® and aluminium honeycomb cores respectively. Their compressive strength was found to increase in proportion to the density of the core. Buckling and fracture of the vertically-aligned Z-axis composite were the predominant failure modes observed. The shear and flexural properties of the Z-axis composites were comparable to equivalent honeycomb sandwich panels manufactured from Nomex® and aluminium honeycomb cores.

The aim of this work was to study the effect of stitch pattern and stitch tension on tension-tension fatigue performance of quasi-unidirectional non-crimp fabric reinforced glass-fibre/epoxy laminates. Internal structure variations of the laminates were characterised using cross-sectional microscopy imaging for the evaluation of fatigue test results. Reinforcements for the study were manufactured with three different stitch patterns and two different stitch tensions. Based on the results, the stitch pattern contributes to in-plane and out-of-plane waviness of fibres, as well as on the size and shape of the axial fibre bundles. The fatigue life and slope parameter of the fitted S-N curve were significantly dependent on the stitch pattern, while they were not dependent on the applied stitch tension.
