Hybrid fabrics are represented by their excellent mechanical and structural properties as compared to conventional metals, which results in their increased functions especially for structural, aerospace applications, automotive, defense as well as sporting industries. In this paper the hybrid fabric (Jute, glass, carbon, Kevlar) composites are prepared by hand layup method and then vacuum bagging is used to avoid voids. The hardness, impact and machinablity test are performed by Rockwell hardness testing machine, Impact testing machine and Drill tool dynamometer respectively. From the results it has been observed that different parameter affects the hardness, toughness and machining of composites

In this study, the effects of temperature and impactor nose diameter on the impact behavior of woven glass-reinforced polyamide 6 (PA6) and polypropylene (PP) thermoplastic composites were investigated experimentally. Impact energies are chosen as 10, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110, 130, and 170 J. The thickness of composite materials is 4 mm. Impact tests were performed using a drop weight impact testing machine, CEAST-Fractovis Plus, and the load capacity of test machine is 22 kN. Hemispherical impactor nose diameter of 12, 7, and 20 mm were used as an impactor. The tests are conducted at room temperature (20°C and 75°C). As a result, the PP composites of the same thickness absorbed more energy than PA6 composites. The amount of absorbed energy of PP and PA6 composites decreased with temperature.

A honeycomb woven fabric was designed and produced on a sampling loom. After weaving cells in the fabric were opened by polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) sticks and an epoxy resin was applied to fabric. For comparison half of the fabric sample was impregnated with resin without opening the cells. Resulting fabric samples were subjected to low-velocity impact test by using drop weight impact testing machine, CEAST Fractovis Plus – 7526.000. To evaluate the impact behavior of the samples the contact force, contact time, deflection, and absorbed energy values were recorded by data acquisition system (DAS). The energy absorbed by honeycomb structure was around 7 Joule. The energy absorbed by flat sample, on the other hand, was too low and out of the detection range of the testing equipment.

In this study, the effect of low velocity impact  response of Kevlar/carbon hybrid composite has been investigated. Then the impacted specimens were subjected to compression and buckling tests at room temperature experimentally. The height, width and thickness of the specimens are 150, 100 and 2.1 mm, respectively. Impact tests have been performed under different impact energy levels by using low velocity impact testing machine. Compression and buckling tests were conducted by Shimadzu testing machine. According to obtained results, the damage increases by increasing the impact energy level in the subjected specimens to impact test.  Compression strength value is higher about 3  times than buckling strength value.

The behavior of thin plate subjected to impact loading is still an interesting field to study. This paper studies about Aluminum thin plate perforation. It focused on the experimental result of thin plate perforation. The thin plates are tested using blunt and conical strikers on a instrumented impact testing machine. Two different thicknesses of was used to observed the maximum work done with four impact velocities. The result indicated that the maximum work done increased proportionally with impact velocities. In addition, an elastic FEM analysis is carried out to confirm the experimental result by using ANSYS software. Both experimental and numerical results showed a close agreement.

A series of hybrid fiber-reinforced composites were prepared with polyimide fiber and carbon fiber as the reinforcement and epoxy resin as the matrix. The influence of stacking sequence on the Charpy impact and flexural properties of the composites as well as the failure modes were studied. The results showed that hybrid fiber-reinforced composites yielded nearly 50% increment in Charpy impact strength compared with the ones reinforced by carbon fiber. The flexural performance was significantly improved compared with those reinforced solely by polyimide fibers and was greatly affected by the stacking sequence. The specimens with compressive sides distributed with carbon fiber possessed higher flexural strength, while those holding a sandwich-like structure with carbon fiber filling between the outer layers displayed a higher flexural modulus.

The microstructure and mechanical properties of the four spring steels with different Si content treated by Q-I-Q-T process were studied by metallographic microscope, MTS, impact testing machine and X-ray stress analyzer. The results show that the tensile strength and yield strength is first increased and then decreased with the increase of Si content, the volume fraction of retained austenite and elongation are fist decreased and then increased when the Si content is less than 2.1%, and the microstructure become finer and homogeneous. When Si content reaches 2.1%, the comprehensive properties of 60Si2CrVA spring steel is the best.

The effect of high temperature annealing on microstructure evolution of Ni-24Fe-14Cr-8Mo alloy was investigated through Optical Microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Rockwell Hardness Testing Machine. Three kinds of grain growth patterns were found at different annealing temperatures due to carbides precipitation and dissolution. After a combination of high temperature annealing and aging treatment, the hardness versus time curves performed a parabolic pattern. The highest hardness was achieved under 1070°C/60 minutes treatment, and the desirable annealing time should be 60 minutes to 90 minutes.
