To improve the interlayer bonding performance and meet the design requirements of 3D mechanical properties of composite materials
an embedded co-cured stitched damping structure was presented. The fabrication process of the embedded co-cured stitched damping composites was developed. The vulcani-ation temperature and time of the damping material were the same as the curing temperature and time of the resin in the prepreg. The preformed structure was stitched by using an improved lock stitching method
and then the embedded co-cured stitched damping composite specimens were finally prepared in autoclave. Free decay test
interlaminar shear test and tensile test were conducted on the specimens. The results showed that the damping performance and maximum tensile stress were increased but the interlayer bonding performance was decreased with the increase of the stitch length. When the damping layer thickness was 0.1 mm and stitch length was changed
