Abstract
The mechanical property of lap joints can be strongly modified by tufting technique. The influence of tufting density, tufting loop and tufting direction on the fracture strength of tufted lap joints (TLJ) are mainly investigated via shearing tests. The experimental results show that lap joint strength can be much improved when the tufting density is increased. Conversely, tufting loop and tufting direction seem to have no apparently effect on the lap joint strength. However, they help to increase the specific strength of the lap joints. In this study, the samples tufted in 0º or 90º direction with a tufting density of 4.17 pts/cm2 and without tufting loops can achieve the highest specific strength. The current study revealed that the tufting technique can improve the lap joints strength within a certain range and tufting parameters need to be well designed to reduce the total material weights.
期刊介绍：
Applied Composite Materials is an international journal dedicated to the publication of original full-length papers, review articles and short communications of the highest quality that advance the development and application of engineering composite materials. Its articles identify problems that limit the performance and reliability of the composite material and composite part; and propose solutions that lead to innovation in design and the successful exploitation and commercialization of composite materials across the widest spectrum of engineering uses. The main focus is on the quantitative descriptions of material systems and processing routes.
Coverage includes management of time-dependent changes in microscopic and macroscopic structure and its exploitation from the material''s conception through to its eventual obsolescence.
