Experiment and Simulation Investigation on the Tensile Behavior of Composite Laminate with Stitching Reinforcement

The experiments and finite element simulations of composite laminate with stitching are carried out. Firstly, the monotonous tensile experiments with and without stitching are conducted to investigate the influence of stitch reinforcement on the composite laminate. Secondly, the finite element metho...
