The hybridisation of fibre-reinforced plastics is one of the perspective technological methods that make it possible to reduce the sensitivity of polymer composites to stress concentration and increase their damage tolerance. In this case, hybridisation means a combination of different types of reinforcing fibres in one yarn, one layer or one package. In most published papers, the authors investigated the mechanical behaviour of hybrid fibre-reinforced plastic under static loading or low-velocity impact conditions only. At the same time, statically preloaded structures made of composite materials can also be subjected to high-velocity impact. Tensile or compressive preloading affects not only the amount of energy absorbed by the composite but also changes the deformation and fracture pattern. This paper presents the results of the experimental study of the mechanical behaviour of a woven carbon/aramid hybrid composite under tensile preloading and high-velocity impact. Pre-tensioned specimens of homogeneous and hybrid composites were subjected to a high-velocity impact by a steel spherical projectile with the velocities up to 900 m/s. The experimental results showed that the hybrid composite had the lowest sensitivity of the ballistic limit to the tensile preloading.

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.

In this paper, numerical simulations of reinforced mortar beams subjected to projectile impact are conducted by using the proposed 3-D Rigid-Body-Spring Model (RBSM) in order to investigate mechanisms of crack propagation and scabbing mode of concrete members under high-velocity impact. The RBSM is one of the discrete-type numerical methods, which represents a continuum material as an assemblage of rigid particle interconnected by springs. The RBSM have advantages in modeling localized and oriented phenomena, such as cracking, its propagation, frictional slip and so on, in concrete structures. The authors have already developed constitutive models for the 3D RBSM with random geometry generated Voronoi diagram in order to quantitatively evaluate the mechanical responses of concrete including softening and localization fractures, and have shown that the model can simulate cracking and various failure modes of reinforced concrete structures. In the target tests, projectile velocity is set 200m/s. The reinforced mortar beams with or without the shear reinforcing steel plates were used to investigate the effects of shear reinforcement on the crack propagation and the local failure modes. By comparing the numerical results with the test results, it is confirmed that the proposed model can reproduce well the crack propagation and the local failure behaviors. In addition, effects of the reinforcing plates on the stress wave and the crack propagation behaviors are discussed from the observation of the numerical simulation results. As a result, it was found that scabbing of reinforced mortar beams subjected to high velocity impact which is in the range of the tests is caused by mainly shear deformation of a beam.
