Abstract
The mode I interlaminar fracture of Kevlar thread stitched GFRP laminates has been studied using double-cantilever-beam (DCB) tests. It was found that stitching density and patterns influence interlaminar fracture performance of composites mainly through the different failure mechanisms of stitch threads during crack propagation.
