title = "On stitching as a method for improving the delamination resistance of CFRPs",
abstract = "Delamination as a result of low-velocity impact loading is a major cause of failure in fibre reinforced composites. Stitching is a method by which through-thickness reinforcement can be introduced into conventional 2D laminates while still retaining the laminated structure. Relevant literature has been reviewed and the advantages and disadvantages of stitching have been identified. The extent to which the mechanical properties of the composite are affected by stitching is dependent on both the stitching and testing parameters, and on the fabrication techniques. While research has been conducted on the effect of some of these variables on properties, an optimal combination of the stitching and fabrication parameters and the effect of testing parameters still needs to be identified in future work.",
