Abstract
In this study, by changing Z-pin’s insertion parameters, the X-cor sandwich was prepared with vacuum curing molding process. The effects of Z-pin’s insertion angle, insertion density and diameter on compression, shear and tension properties were studied. The results show that Z-pin’s insertion parameters can significantly affect the mechanical properties of X-cor sandwich. The compression properties of X-cor sandwich are reduced, while shear properties are improved by the increase of Z-pin’s insertion angle. As Z-pin’s insertion angle increases the tension modulus increases while the tension strength firstly increases and secondly decreases. The mechanical properties increase with the increase of Z-pin’s insertion density and diameter. Compared with the foam core sandwich, the mechanical properties of X-cor sandwich are significantly improved in both modulus and strength.
