The influence of nanoclay on the impact damage resistance of carbon fiber-epoxy (CFRP) composites has been investigated using the low-velocity impact and compression after impact tests. The load-energy vs time relations were analyzed to gain insight into the damage behaviors of the materials. Compression-after-impact (CAI) test was performed to measure the residual compressive strength. The CFRPs containing organoclay brought about a significant improvement in impact damage resistance and damage tolerance. The composites containing organoclay exhibited an enhanced energy absorption capability with less damage areas and higher CAI strengths compared to those made from neat epoxy. A 3wt% phr was shown to be an optimal content with the highest damage resistance.

composite laminates, metal ion implantation, low-velocity impact damage, BVID Abstract. Metal ion implantation was carried out on composite laminates to modify the surface properties, so that after low-velocity impact barely visible impact damage (BVID) was easy to realize. Surface topography of laminates was observed by SEM. Microhardness and drop-weight impact was tested on composite laminates. The results showed that after metal ion implantation microhardness of laminates increased obviously and resin was easy to generate plastic deforming. Dent depth had been improved so as to realize visible impact damage more easily. And compression-after-impact (CAI) had not decreased. Comparison with Ti ion implantation, Cu ion implantation had better influence on realizing visible impact damage (VID).

Sandwich composite laminates structure is a classic application of composite material on actual aircraft structural. Dealing with low-velocity impact damage and residual compressive strength of sandwich composite laminates, explicit finite element method of ABAQUS/Explicit software was adopted to simulate low-velocity impact and compression process. Impact response and invalidation on compression between sandwich composite laminates with different core materials and regular composite laminates were compared. The simulation results indicated that softer core materials can absorb more impact energy, reduce the structure damage and enhance the residual compressive strength after impact.
