In this study, the impact behaviours of glass/epoxy and hybrid (glass-carbon/epoxy) composite plates have been investigated experimentally. The increasing impact energy was performed on composite plates until complete perforation of samples. An energy profiling diagram, showing the relationship between impact energy and absorbed energy, was used together with load-deflection curves to determine the penetration and perforation thresholds of composite plates. The failure processes of damaged specimens for different impact energies were evaluated by comparing load-deflection curves and images of damaged samples taken from impacted sides and non-impacted sides. Cross-sections of damaged specimens for both plates were also inspected visually and discussed to assess the extent of damage, such as fibre fracture in layers, expansion of delaminations between adjacent layers. The perforation threshold of hybrid composite impacted from surface with carbon fibres was found approximately 30% and 15% higher than those of surface with glass fibres of hybrid plates and glass/epoxy plates, respectively.

AbstractThe aim of this experimental study is to investigate impact behaviors of the composite single-lap adhesive joints. The increasing impact energies, which are ranged from approximately 5 J to 30 J, are performed at the center of the composite plates having three different overlap lengths. It is shown that the overlap lengths and impact energy levels affect considerably the impact responses of the composite single lap joints. It is also shown that the bending stiffness of the composite increases by increase in the overlap length. An energy profiling method (EPM) is used to identify the penetration and perforation thresholds of composite lap joints. The damaged composite plates are visually inspected.

AbstractThis experimental study deals with the flexural behaviors of composite single-lap adhesive joints after impact tests. Increasing impact energies are applied at the center of the composite plates having three different overlap lengths. It is shown that the overlap lengths and impact energy levels affect considerably the impact responses of the composite single-lap joints. It is also shown that the bending stiffness of the composite increases with increasing overlap length. For this reason, after the impact tests, how these effects influence the flexural behaviors of the impacted composite lap joints was also investigated. The flexural loads of the impacted and non-impacted composite single-lap joints were determined and compared with each other. It is shown that the residual flexural loads after impact increase with increasing overlap lengths but decrease with increasing impact energy.

We have studied the Lyman [Formula: see text] and Werner [Formula: see text] band emissions produced by 20–500-eV electrons incident on molecular deuterium, D2. Emission cross sections of (3.7 ± 0.9) × 10−17 cm2 for the B → X and (3.54 ± 0.74) × 10−17 cm2 for the C → X system have been determined at 100-eV impact energy. Cascading did not play an important role in the [Formula: see text] emission, but it was shown to affect the [Formula: see text] emission seriously, particularly for impact energies below 50 eV. We estimate the cross section for direct excitation of the [Formula: see text] state and the cascade cross section to be 2.95 × 10−17 and 0.75 × 10−17 cm2, at 100 eV respectively. The cascade cross section is 20 ± 10% of the total B → X emission cross section, and is essentially constant in the energy range 300–50 eV, but increases significantly for lower impact energies, e.g., to 40 ± 15% at 27.5 eV. The cross section for the atomic 2p → 1s Lyman α emission from D2 has also been measured and the value of 1.00 × 10−17 cm2 at 100 eV is 20% smaller than the cross section for Lyman α emission from H2.

Pseudopotential calculations of phase shifts, differential, total, and momentum-transfer cross sections for electrons elastically scattered from neon atoms are reported in the impact energy range 0–20 eV. The results are found to be in very good agreement with existing experimental and other theoretical data.

Abstract Mechanical damage of seeds due to harvest, handling and other process is an important factor that affects the quality and quantity of seeds. Seed damage result in lower grain value, storability problem, and reduced seed germination and seedling vigor and subsequent yield of crops. The objective of this research was to determine the effects of moisture content and impact energy on the breakage susceptibility of wheat and triticale seeds. The experiments were conducted at five moisture contents of 7.5, 12, 17, 22 and 27% w.b. and at the impact energies of 0.05 and 0.1 J. The percentage of breakage of both wheat and triticale seeds increased as impact energy increased. The analysis of variance showed that there was a significant difference between breakage susceptibility of wheat and triticale seeds at the 1% probability level. Triticale seeds had more breakage than wheat seeds. For both wheat and triticale seeds as the moisture content of the seeds increased, the amount of the percentage breakage of seeds decreased as a polynomial. The average values of percentage breakage of wheat seeds decreased from 43.81 to 19.88% as the moisture content increased from 7.5 to 27%. Over this same moisture content range the percentage breakage of triticale seeds varied from 81.34 to 37.77%. Below the moisture contents of 17% for the wheat and 22% for the triticale the percentage breakage of seeds increased dramatically.

Recently, quantitative risk assessment (QRA) has been widely used as a decision-making tool in the offshore industry. This study focused on analyzing dropped objects in the design of a modern offshore platform. A modified QRA procedure was developed for assessing production module protection against accidental external loads. Frequency and consequence analyses were performed using the developed QRA procedure. An exceedance curve was plotted, and a high-risk management item was derived through this process. In particular, simulations and experiments were used to verify the difference between the potential and impact energies according to drop orientation. When the object dropped in a specific orientation, the impact energy was confirmed to be up to 4.7 times greater than the potential energy. To reflect the QRA results in structural design, the proposed procedure should be used to calculate the maximum impact energy. The proposed procedure provides a step-by-step guide to assess the damage capacity of a production area as well as the damage frequency and consequences.

This paper discusses the mechanical properties of woven kenaf/fiberglass hybrid composites which has been fabricating using vacuum bag technique. Kenaf fiber had chosen among others natural fibres due to its excellent mechanical properties and potential natural raw fiber to replace plastic or tobacco in manufacturing a multitude of products for the construction, automotive, textile and advanced technology sectors. This study investigates post impact tensile of kenaf hybrid composites and its surface fractured. The impact energy used consists of 4J, 6J, 8J, 12J and 16J. The specimens were clamped between two plate rings with an internal hole diameter of 18mm and impacted with hemispherical nose impactor shape with diameter size of 12.7mm. The results revealed that this kenaf hybrid composite showed significant decreasing of strength and modulus as increasing the impact energy. The damage area affected with fiber fracture occurred much later in fracture process due to high bending stresses.
