ABSTRACT:
Improved pin-reinforced sandwich structure ties the face sheets (typically on opposite sides of a foam core) together with a plurality of Z-pins that extend into each face sheet (through the core). The pins are arranged in a an interlaced configuration off-normal to provide crack resistance around fasteners for connecting the composite structure to other structural elements in aerospace applications.
