In this study, the effect of sewing parameters on tensile strength in stitched composite laminates was examined. In the production of composite laminates, Twaron T-750 type plain weave fabric was used as reinforcement material and a Polives 702 Bisphenol-A type epoxy based vinyl ester as resin. The effects of stitch density and stitch direction or stitch pattern on tensile strength of composite samples were studied and, as a result of the experiments, it was observed that higher tensile strength occurs with low stitch densities in stitched laminates.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMaterials scienceStitch bondingStitch directionTwaron woven compositesEnergy-absorption capabilitiesDelamination resistanceBallistic performanceWovenBehaviorFabricsArticle0003169355000132-s2.0-848760624276772191Materials science, multidisciplinaryTufting; Composite Laminates; Delamination
