The compressive strength of C/SiC composite at different strain rates, off-axis orientations and after high-velocity impact was studied. The compressive strength was found to be 137 ± 23, 130 ± 46 and 162 ± 33 MPa at a strain rate of 3.3 × 10−5, 3.3 × 10−3, 3.3 × 10−3 s−1, respectively. On the other hand, the compressive strength was found to be 130 ± 46, 99 ± 23 and 87 ± 9 MPa for 0°/90°, 30°/60° and 45°/45° fibre orientations to loading direction, respectively. After high-velocity impact, the residual compressive strength of C/SiC composite was found to be 58 ± 26, 44 ± 18 and 36 ± 3.5 MPa after impact with 100, 150 and 190 m/s, respectively. The formation of kink bands in fibre bundles was found to be dominant micro-mechanism for compressive failure of C/SiC composite for 0°/90° orientation. On the other hand, delamination and the fibre bundles rotation were found to be the dominant mechanism for off-axis failure of composite.

Damage Initiation

The safety predictions of composite armors require a probabilistic analysis to take into consideration scatters in the material properties and initial velocity. Damage initiation laws are used to account for matrix and fiber failure during high-velocity impact. A three-dimensional (3D) stochastic finite-element analysis of laminated composite plates under impact is performed to determine the probability of failure (Pf). The objective is to achieve the safest design of lightweight composite through the most efficient ply arrangement of S2 glass epoxy. Realistic damage initiation models are implemented. The Pf is obtained through the Gaussian process response surface method (GPRSM). The antisymmetric cross-ply arrangement is found to be the safest based on maximum stress and Yen and Hashin criteria simultaneously. Sensitivity analysis is performed to achieve the target reliability.

High-velocity impact behaviour of hybrid-fibre engineered cementitious composite (ECC) panels subjected to an impact from a hardened steel, ogive-nosed projectile at velocities between 300-700 m/s is investigated and reported in this paper. The new ECC mix contains a proportion of 0.75% volume high-modulus steel fibres and 1.25% volume low modulus polyvinyl-alcohol (PVA) fibres. The mix is designed to achieve a desired balance between the strain hardening behaviour and impact resistance of material required for impact and blast resistant structures. The new hybrid-fibre ECC demonstrates its excellent capability for impact resistance and strong potential as a protective material with reduced impact damage and distributed micro cracking.
