Abstract:

In order to better understand the research status of stitching technology of composite materials, the stitching methods and stitching parameters were introduced, the research on the mechanical properties of stitching composite materials and the development and application of stitching equipment at home and abroad were summarized. The influence of stitching technology on the mechanical properties of composite material was emphasized. It was proved that the stitching introduces continuous fibers in the thickness direction of the material, which can enhance the interlaminar fracture toughness of composites and improve the impact damage tolerance. Special attention was paid to the development status of the combination of stitching system and robot. Based on the existing equipment, the new equipment should be further innovated to promote the high-efficiency and intelligentization of the suturing technology of composite materials. Finally, the challenges and opportunities of the current development of suturing technology was put forward, and the development prospects of composite suture technology in the fields of aerospace, new energy and automobile were pointed out.

Key words: stitching technology, composite material, stitching parameter, stitching equipment
