The fracture behavior of a discontinuous microlayer polymer-polymer composite was studied at −40 °C on notched Charpy specimens and unnotched plates in instrumented impact bending and falling weight impact tests, respectively. The microstructure of the specimens, containing discontinuous layers of modified polyamide (PA; Selar®, Du Pont), more or less uniformly stacked and well overlapping, in a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) matrix, was assessed by light microscopy. Failure mode of the microlayered specimens was studied by fractography. It was concluded that the in-plane impact response of this discontinuous microlayer composite is superior to the out-of-plane one. In addition, a fine and regular microstructure imparts to a high impact resistance.

Some key quality problems has been exposed in several years of quality supervision sampling inspection of industry products for HDPE silicore plastic duct, such as dimension, breaking elongation, performance of falling weight impact and ring stiffness. Quality consistency is an important indicator in evaluating product quality. Nondestructive testing can be used to evaluate the quality of the whole pan and batch of silicore plastic duct, and it will play important role in product quality controlling.

The Impact

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.
