AB - In this study the delamination resistance of arrays of Z-pins are measured in Mode I, Mode II and mixed Mode I/II loading scenarios, using standard fracture toughness test methodologies. Through experimental observations and measured results it is shown that the bridging behaviours predicted in previous single pin tests are analogous to the arrays of pins inside fracture toughness coupons. Although it is not feasible to measure the steady state delamination propagation in a through-thickness reinforced (TTR) region in all Mode mixities, a method is proposed to measure the apparent toughness of these TTR pins at predetermined delamination lengths. This method provides useful, conservative results that could improve the design of composite components which contain TTR elements.
