The Impact

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.

The aim of this work is to study the behaviour of two types of composite material when subjected to impacts at different energy levels under low velocity impact events. The composite material used in this study was Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) which was C-type/600 g/m2 and E-type/600 g/m2. This material was fabricated to produce laminated plate specimens with a dimension of 100 mm 150 mm. Each specimen had 10 layers of GFRP woven roving plies. The low velocity impact test was performed using an IM10 Drop Weight Impact Tester with a 10 mm hemispherical striker cap. The impact energy was set to 14, 28, 42 and 56 joules with velocity ranging from 1.73 m/s to 3.52 m/s. The relationships of impact energy with impact force, displacement and energy absorbed are presented. The comparison and behaviour between the two types of GFRP are discussed.
