Impact characteristics of Epoxy matrix composites is investigated by impact machine. Four different types of reinforcement are used in the experimental works: type one: 1.9wt% steel fiber, 1.9wt% carbon fiber,1.9 wt% carbon nanotube, 1.9 wt% woven carbon fiber.This work shows that reinforcing epoxy with (1.9 wt% of woven carbon fiber) improves the impact properties where energy, force and deformation values of impact test for this composite were 18.4J, 3580.59 N and 18 mm respectively while for epoxy were 2.927 J, 921.849 N and 18.413 mm respectively.

Fibre-reinforced composite materials are becoming important in many areas of technological application. In addition to the static load, such structures may be stressed with short-term dynamic loads or even dynamic impact loads during their lifespan. Impact loading of structural components produces a complex process, where both the characteristics of the design itself and the material parameters influence the resultant behavior. It is clear that fibre reinforced concrete has a positive impact on increasing of the resistance to impact loads. Results of two different impact load tests carried out on drop-weight test machine are presented in this report.

The present work aims to improve the mechanical properties of Epocast 50-A1/946 epoxy via incorporation of alumina nanoparticles using an ultrasonic agitation method. The optimum weight percentage of alumina nanoparticles was determined based on the improvement in the shear and impact properties of the nanocomposites at room temperature and 50 ℃. Accordingly, neat epoxy panels and nanocomposite panels with 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 wt% alumina nanoparticles were fabricated. The shear and thermo-mechanical impact properties of the panels were measured using an instrumented drop-weight impact machine and an Iosipescu shear test fixture, respectively, according to ASTMs D5379 and D7136. The maximum improvement in shear strength and modulus was 10.9% and 8.1%, respectively, for the nanocomposites containing 1.0 and 1.5 wt% alumina nanoparticles. The predicted shear moduli of the nanocomposites agreed well with the measured values with a maximum error of 6.52%. The optimal performance of impact properties was achieved by incorporating 1.0 wt% of alumina nanoparticles. Namely, the maximum impact-bending stiffness, contact force, and absorbed energy were increased by 12.9%, 13.0%, and 23.4%, respectively. The test temperature of 50 ℃ was found to have a negative effect on the impact-bending stiffness and the maximum contact force. On the other hand, the absorbed energy was increased up to 12.1%.

In present paper effect of alloying elements and strengthening particle on the impact toughness were investigated. Load and energy in the impact tests were also discussed in detail for Ti-2Al, Ti-2Sn,Ti-2Zr, Ti-1Mo and Ti/TiC. Impact tests were carried out at room temperature (293K) and low temperature (83K) using a 300J capacity impact machine. Ti-1Mo, Ti-2Zr,Ti-2Sn alloys exhibit high impact toughness even at low temperature, while Ti-2Al and Ti/TiC only have high toughness at room temperature. At room temperature, general yielding occurred in all the materials, but it occurred only in Ti-1Mo, Ti-2Zr and Ti-2Sn at low temperature. It seemed that strengthening titanium couldn’t affect the elastic energy (Ei) effectively, but bring about more changes to Ep (propagation energy of crack) than to Ei (initiation energy of crack). As for the effect of alloying elements on the impact toughness, it seems to be related to the comprehensive result of the concentration and electronegative property of alloying elements. The interface between the TiC particles and matrix resulted in low toughness, especially at cryogenic temperature.
