This paper presents the experimental investigations on the low velocity impact response of woven kenaf fiber reinforced composites. Kenaf yarns are weaved with an orientation of 00 of warp and 900 of weft to form woven kenaf mat. Three woven kenaf mats are stacked together to achieve the specified sequences. The woven stacked kenaf mats are hardened with polymeric resin and compressed to squeeze off any excessive resin and to minimize voids content. The hardened composite plates are perforated using different impact velocities. Impact responses of the composite plates are examined according to stacking sequences, impact velocities and fragmentation patterns. According to the present results, the impact strength is strongly related with the impact velocity. If higher impact velocity is used, the performances of load bearing are reduced. It is obvious that no significant features of composite fragmentations occurred from the perforated holes. However, relatively larger area of mechanical damages is found distributed around the holes, indicating the capability of composites to absorb energy effectively.

Abstract In order to elucidate the hygroscopic effects on impact-resistance of carbon fiber/epoxy quasi-isotropic composite plates, low-velocity impact tests are conducted on dry and hygroscopically conditioned plates, respectively, under identical configurations. For the impact tests, plates were immersed in the hot water at 80 °C to absorb a different amount of moisture content (MC). Experimental results reveal that the presence of the MC plays a pivotal role by improving the impact-resistance of composite plates. Plates with higher percentage of MC could behave elastically to a larger strain, yielding larger deflection under impact loading. From SEM fractographies, it is observed that small disbanding grows at the interface of epoxy and carbon fiber due to absorbed MC. After absorbing MC, most of impact enegy is dissipated in hygroscopic conditioned composite plates throught elastic deformation and overall less damage is induced in wet composite plates compare to the dry plate. We can postulate that the presence of MC increases the elastic limit as well as ductility of the epoxy by promoting chain segmental mobility of the polymer molecules, which eventually leads to the enhancement of the impact-resistance of wet quasi-isotropic composite plates in comparison with the dry plate.

Filament-wound composite tubular structures are frequently used in transmission systems, pressure vessels, and sports equipment. In this study, the failure mechanism of composite tubes reinforced with different fibres under low-velocity impact (LVI) and the radial residual compression performance of the impacted composite tubes were investigated. Four fibres, including carbon fiber-T800, carbon fiber-T700, basalt fibre, and glass fibre, were used to fabricate the composite tubes by the winding process. The internal matrix/fibre interface of the composite tubes before the LVI and their failure mechanism after the LVI were investigated by scanning electric microscopy and X-ray micro-computed tomography, respectively. The results showed that the composite tubes mainly fractured through the delamination and fibre breakage damage under the impact of 15 J energy. Delamination and localized fibre breakage occur in the glass fibre-reinforced composite (GFRP) and basalt fibre-reinforced composite (BFRP) tubes when subjected to LVI. While fibre breakage damage occurs globally in the carbon fibre-reinforced composite (CFRP) tubes. The GFRP tube showed the best impact resistance among all the tubes investigated. The basalt fibre-reinforced composite (BFRP) tube exhibited the lowest structural impact resistance. The impact resistance of the CFRP-T700 and CFRP-T800 tube differed slightly. The radial residual compression strength (R-RCS) of the BFRP tube is not sensitive to the impact, while that of the GFRP tube is shown to be highly sensitive to the impact.

In the present study, experiment was carried out to investigate the impact properties of flexible and rigid polymer reinforced with E-glass fiber, under low velocity impact. The experimental work includes preparing the cured glassflexible modified epoxy and placed it onto the uncured glass-epoxy composite samples. The experimental results prove that the hybridization improves the impact strength of laminates. The flexibility segments that were introduced into the epoxy system increased the penetration impact resistance value. Hence more impact energy is required to perforate the samples compared to epoxy composite system which is brittle phase.

The concept of industrialization of the construction technology has emerged as well accepted and preferred option in the field of building construction now days in order to reduce in – situ construction up to maximum extent. Ferrocement is the one of the relatively new cementitious composite considered as a construction material. The main aim of this study is to investigate the behavior of Ferrocement panel under low velocity impact. Size of panel is 250 x 250 mm and thickness is varying from 20mm to 40mm. Corrugated fibers were added in panels. Volume of corrugated fibers was considered as 1.5% of total volume of panel. Weld mesh and woven mesh were used in ferrocement panels. Numbers of layers of mesh were 2 and 3. Height of drop is 1m. M30 and M40 Grade of mortar were used. Equivalent stress, Normal stress and Deformation were the main parameters for this research work. From the results it can be concluded that weld mesh with corrugated fibers is good at the impact resistance.

The Impact

The weak interface performance between metal and composite (IPMC) makes the composite materials susceptible to impact load. Aluminum/glass fiber/polypropylene (Al/Gf/PP) laminates were manufactured with the aluminum alloy sheets modified by nitrogen plasma surface treatment and the phosphoric acid anodizing method, respectively. FEM models of Al/Gf/PP laminates under low-velocity impact were established in ABAQUS/Explicit based on the generated data including the model I and II interlaminar fracture toughness. Low-velocity impact tests were performed to investigate the impact resistance of Al/Gf/PP laminates including load traces, failure mechanism, and energy absorption. The results showed that delamination was the main failure mode of two kinds of laminates under the impact energy of 20 J and 30 J. When the impact energy was between 40 J and 50 J, there were metal cracks on the rear surface of the plasma pretreated specimens, which possessed higher energy absorption and impact resistance, although the integrity of the laminates could not be preserved. Since the residual compressive stress was generated during the cooling process, the laminates were more susceptible to stretching rather than delamination. For impact energy (60 J) causing the through-the-thickness crack of two kinds of laminates, plasma pretreated specimens exhibited higher SEA values close to 9 Jm2/kg due to better IPMC. Combined with the FEM simulation results, the interface played a role in stress transmission and specimens with better IPMC enabled the laminates to absorb more energy.

The Impact

The study of the impact energy and the composite behaviour plays a vital role in the efficient design of composite structures. Among the various categories of impact tests, it is essential to study low-velocity impact tests as the damage generated due to these loads is often not visible to the naked eye. The internal damages can reduce the strength of the composites and hence the impact behaviour must be addressed specifically for improving their applications in the transport industry. The main aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of the work focusing on the assessment of biocomposites performance under low impact velocity, the different deformations, and damage mechanisms, as well the methods to improve the impact resistance.

The Impact

In this paper, the low-velocity impact properties of the 3D woven composites were tested. Through the study on the relationship of absorbed energy and material structure, the impact resistance of the composites has been discussed. The research results show that the low-velocity impact resistance of quasi-orthogonal composites is the best, the low-velocity impact resistance of orthogonal composites is the worst and angle tangled of interlayer joint composites stand somewhere between the two. Adding quasi-orthogonal unit into the structure, the low-velocity impact property of the composites can be enhanced efficiently. On the other hand, if the unit distribution of the enforced fabric is changed, the break time and break point will be changed. But the effect on the total absorbed energy is not obvious.

The low velocity impact response of sandwich panels at different energy levels has been investigated by conducting drop-weight impact tests using an instrumented falling-weight impact tower. Impact parameters like maximum impact force and the extent of the damage were evaluated and compared for different types of sandwich panels. Finite elements simulations have been undertaken using the LS-DYNA software; the results of FE simulations have a good agreement with the experiments. It shows that, the impact force increased with thickness of face-sheets and foam core, the extent of the damage increased with the impact energy, sandwich panels with steel face sheet has a good impact resistance in comparison with sandwich panel with aluminum face sheets.
