A ceramic plasma-coating method that reduces impact damage from the impact by round particles to a ceramic material is suggested. A steel-ball impact test was performed to investigate and compare the damage behavior of uncoated and ceramic-coated glass relative to the impact velocity and impact energy of the steel balls. Damaged volume measured and compared, for different steel-ball diameters and types of coating materials, Al 2 O 3- TiO 2, Al 2 O 3, and Cr 2 O 3. In addition, experimental equations were derived from the results, to define the experimental properties of the damage behavior exhibited by the ceramic-coated and uncoated glass.

The damage behavior of soda-lime glass was studied by oblique impact test with a steel ball, and in order to investigate the effect of roughness damage on glass, variable damages and strength degradation of smooth and Al 2 O 3 sand blasted for roughness glass was investigated by the ball impact test. After the test, the crack patterns were investigated using a stereo-microscope. In addition, the finite element method was performed to analyze the stress distribution and variation in the glass impacted obliquely by the steel ball. As a result of the impact test, the crack length of 90° impacted glass was the largest and that of 50° impacted glass was the smallest. In particular, as the impact velocity and diameter of the steel ball increased, the difference in crack length was prominent. The finite element analysis showed the maximum principle stresses distribution in the contact area of glass specimen. The result of analysis was accorded with the crack growth behavior by the oblique impact test.

The goals of this paper are to identify the impact damage behavior of plain-weave E-glass/epoxy composites and predict the fatigue life of the composites with impact-induced damage under constant amplitude loading. To identify these behaviors, the low velocity impact and fatigue after impact tests are performed for glass/epoxy composites having two types of fiber orientations. The impact damage behavior is dependent on the fiber orientation of the composites. The fatigue life of the impacted composites can be identified through the prediction model, which was proposed on the carbon/epoxy laminates by authors regardless of fiber orientations.

The impact damage of an Al 2 O 3-coated soda-lime glass under tensile and compressive stress conditions was investigated by an impact test using a steel ball (2mm dia.). The size of the glass specimens was 40×40×5( mm ). In order to change the porosity percent of each specimen, the target distance was set at 120mm and 70mm. Also, the effect of the thickness of the coating layer was shown by two amounts (100 μm and 50 μm). The velocity of the steel balls was set between 30 and 60m/s. After the impact test, the crack patterns and lengths were measured using a stereo-microscope. The tensile and compressive specimens were prepared by inflation and deflation of air pressure within a pressure vessel. It was confirmed that the crack length of the glass under tensile stress was longer than that of glass under compressive stress. Also, the optimum conditions were a target distance of 70mm and 100 μm of a coating thickness, thus resulting in a minimization of porosity percent and area.

In this work, we have evaluated the performance, of an electric comb equipped with five undulated fingers used for mechanized the harvesting of table olives. The first aim of the work was to test three different types of coating materials used for covering the fingers: Silicon (S), Vulcanized rubber (VR) and Natural rubber (NR). The diameter of the coating materials tested were 7mm (D1), 14 mm (D2), 19 mm (D3) in order to evaluate the damage of different working conditions on the intact olives. During harvesting, silicon at 7mm and 14mm resulted in the largest percentage of undamaged the fruit (67% and 65%), natural rubber 63% and vulcanized rubber at the 54%. The second aim was to evaluate the combination, in terms of the best performance, of the machines used for mechanized harvesting of table olives. Several factors have been examined: undulating fingers variation thickness, different rotational speeds and different coating materials used to reduce the impact damage on olives. From the tests on olive tree we have determined that while plastic materials (S) and (NR) appear to have a positive role in harvest quality, the vibration transmitted to the operator’s hand is great from 6.48 m/s2 for S to 6.31 m/ s2 for NR and 2.92 m/s2 for VR, respect to the materials used.

This paper deals with the damage behavior of glass/epoxy composite laminates subjected to low-velocity impact at various temperatures. For this goal, the impact tests were performed by using an instrumented impact-testing machine at three temperatures: +20°C, -10°C and -40°C. And the resultant damages were inspected through the scanning acoustic microscope (SAM). Also, based on the impact force history and the damage configuration of the laminates, the impact resistance parameters were employed to evaluate damage resistance of glass/epoxy laminates. As results, it was found that the temperature changes affect the damage resistance capacity of glass/epoxy laminates.

This paper investigates the damage behavior of thermoset and thermoplastic fiber-reinforced composites. The specimens were subjected to low-velocity impacts (LVI) to produce barely visible impact damages (BVID). To compare the dependency of the matrix system and the laminate lay-up on the impact damage, four test series were set up. Therefore, laminates with an epoxy (EP) and a polyether ether ketone (PEEK) matrix in a quasi-isotropic (QI) [+45/0/-45/90]2s and an orthotropic (OT) fiber lay-up [0/90]4s were manufactured. To eliminate the influence of variant fiber systems, the thermoplastic tape and the thermoset prepreg contain similar carbon fibers (CF). After impact testing with three different impact energies, inner damages were investigated by using ultrasonic analyses. To get a deeper understanding of the interior damage mechanisms, cross sections of the damaged areas were examined via reflected light microscopy. By using these destructive and non-destructive test methods, significant differences in the damage behavior of composites with thermoplastic and thermoset matrix systems were identified for both laminate lay-ups.

Damage behavior of composite stiffened plates of structure I and structure II at different positions and under different impact energy subjected to low-velocity impact testing was studied in this paper. Visual observation and ultrasonic C-scanning were also employed to inspect the damage size. The results showed that damage behavior of composite stiffened plates was not only related to damage behavior of laminates, but also related to damage between stringer and laminate and damage of stringer itself. It was found that the mechanism of absorbing energy varies with the impact position, as well as the damage behavior. When the impact position was near stringer, partial energy was absorbed by stringer to make stringer and laminate disengage and damage area of laminates was smaller. Damage behavior of composite stiffened plates varies with the structure. Damage area of samples of structure II was smaller than that of samples of structure I. It was estimated preliminarily that design of structure II was better than that of structure I.

Conventional impact dampers often utilize the steel balls because of its low cost and handling easiness. But the steel-ball impact dampers sometimes collapse or generate very large noise because of large shock at the impact. And as for the design of the impact damper, in the conventional approaches, the analytical modeling for the impact force is based on the contact theory proposed by H. Hertz, in which the restitution coefficient is assumed to be constant, i.e., the dependency on the relative velocity is not taken into consideration. However, some experimental results show that the restitution coefficient depends on the relative velocity at the impact. In this study, the elasto-plastic materials are employed as an impact damper material in order to suppress the large shock for the damper vessel and large impact noise. Therefore, the impact force modeling is modified so as that the elasto-plasticity of the material can be considered. This modeling can also consider the dependency of the restitution coefficient on the relative velocity. An impact damper which composed of a vessel and several particles made of elasto-plastic material such as lead is treated. The frequency response of the damper vessel and the damping effect of the damper are evaluated for the 2 kinds of impact force modeling by numerical simulations. Also, the effects of the particle number and the vessel configuration are evaluated. As a result, the effects of the above mentioned parameters are clarified.
