    Stitching of composite preforms or prepregs degrades their in-plane mechanical properties by causing stress concentrations and fibre damage. Experimental testing was conducted to determine the Young's modulus, flexural modulus, failure strength, and shear strength of stitched laminates. Tensile and compressive tests were performed according to ASTM standards on rectangular coupons using an Instron 1195 load frame equipped with load cells and data acquisition. Properties such as Young's modulus and failure strain were measured using centrally located strain gauges during loading at a rate of 1 mm/min until specimen fracture. Results for tensile, transverse tensile, and compressive properties are summarized in Tables 3-5.

    IN-PLANE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES

    Stitching of preforms or prepregs causes stress concentrations and damage to the in-plane
    fibres and hence degrades the in-plane mechanical properties. The Young's modulus, flexural
    modulus, failure strength, and shear strength of stitched laminates were determined
    experimentally for some of the laminates and are summarised below. In determining these
    properties, the transverse shear modulus, where required, was assumed to be 5.8 GPa.
    The tensile and compressive properties were determined by loading the specimen in uniaxial
    tension and compression, respectively. These tests were carried out on rectangular coupons of
    160 mm in length, 15 mm in width and 3 mm in thickness as per ASTM standard. For the
    tensile test specimens, at each end, 40 mm of the specimen was held in the grips, leaving a
    test area of 80 x 15 mm2. To prevent failure in the grips, it was also necessary to employ
    aluminium tabs in the case of longitudinal tension specimens. However, no tabbing was
    required while performing the test in the transverse direction. The compressive test specimen
    had a test area of 10 x 15 mm2 with 70 mm held in the grips at both ends (in an IITRI test
    fixture). The measurement of the Young’s modulus and failure strain were facilitated by the
    use of a centrally located strain gauge. The strain gauge data was directly fed into a 486 PC
    data logger. The load was applied by a screw driven Instron 1195 using a 100KN load cell.
    The self-tightening wedge action grips were used to introduce the load to the specimen. An
    increasing load was applied to the specimen at a uniform displacement rate of 1 mm/min until
    fracture of the specimen occurred. The load, displacement, time and strain were constantly
    recorded using a 486 PC data logger throughout the test. For each variable four to six
    specimens were tested. The load-displacement curves were essentially linear until fracture
    occurred. The strength was determined from the failure load and the Young’s modulus was
    determined from the gradient of the linear (elastic) portion of the stress-strain curve. The
    results for the longitudinal and transverse tensile properties and compressive properties are
    summarised in Tables 3-5.
