Notched behaviour of stitched and unstitched RFI CFRP laminates

This work describes an experimental investigation of the effect of through-thickness stitching on the in-plane crack growth of Resin Film Infused (RFI) carbon fibre/epoxy laminates. Through-thickness reinforcement is a relatively recent approach to compensate for poor out-of-plane mechanical propert...
