Influence of stitching parameters on the tensile performance and failure mechanisms of CFRP T-joints
T-joints made from carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are widely used in aircraft fuselages. However, CFRP structures are prone to interlaminar delamination, for which stitching reinforcement presents a promising solution.
