In this paper, the impact behavior of Kevlar/glass fiber hybrid composite laminates was investigated by performing the drop weight impact test (ASTM D7136). Composite laminates were fabricated using vacuum bagging process with an epoxy matrix reinforced with twill Kevlar woven fiber and plain glass woven fiber. Four different types of composite laminates with different ratios of Kevlar to glass fiber (0:100, 20:80, 50:50 and 100:0) were manufactured. The effect of Kevlar/glass fiber content on the impact damage behavior was studied at 43J nominal impact energy. Results indicated that hybridization of Kevlar fiber to glass fiber improved the load carrying capability, energy absorbed and damage degree of composite laminates with a slight reduction in deflection. These results were further supported through the damage pattern analysis, depth of penetration and X-ray evaluation tests. Based on literature work, studies that have been done to investigate the impact behaviour of woven Kevlar/glass fiber hybrid composite laminates are very limited. Therefore, this research concentrates on the effect of Kevlar on the impact resistance properties of woven glass fibre reinforced polymer composites.

In this paper, the low-energy impact behavior of a fully biobased composite made of bio-sourced polyamide 11 resin reinforced with flax fibers was investigated. Different composite laminates were studied in order to determine the stacking sequence effects on the impact behavior of these composites. Four stacking sequences were manufactured: unidirectional [0°]8, cross-ply [0°/90°]2s, sandwich-like [02°/902°]s and quasi-isotropic [45°/0/−45°/90°]s. A low impact energy of 3.6 J was applied on these laminates by means of a drop weight impact tower. The impact properties of these lay-ups were ascertained by analysing the impact load history, the maximal displacement of the impactor and the absorbed energy. Damage after impact was further assessed by visual inspections, topographic measurements, C-scan and X-ray micro-tomography observations. The results show that impact damage of composite plates is highly influenced by fiber orientation. The impact test data are in good agreement with damage analysis after impact and indicate that stacking plies in the same orientation lead to a larger induced damage, which is responsible for energy dissipation. The quasi-isotropic composite has the smallest induced damage and the highest peak load. Otherwise, the sandwich-like sequence shows the lowest peak load, the highest energy absorption and significant induced damage. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the most suitable lay-up, in terms of impact behavior, for each considered industrial application.

Energy Profiling

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.

Carbon-hemp composite laminate provides good thermal properties. For this reason this type of material is presently being used for various applications like insulator for airplanes, spaceships, nuclear reactors, and so forth. Unfortunately their mechanical properties are less studied. These characteristics are very important since they should be guaranteed also for important mechanical stress in addition to the thermal one. The present paper presents a study regarding the impact testing of some hybrid composite laminate panels based on polyester resin reinforced with both carbon and hemp fabric. The effects of different impact speeds on the mechanical behavior of these panels have been analyzed. The paper lays stress on the characterization of this hybrid composite laminate regarding the impact behavior of these panels by dropping a weight with low velocity.

ABSTRACTNacre is a hierarchical multi-composite matrix consisting of mineral plate-like structures stacked up similar to brick and mortar. When impacted with a projectile this type of structure is expected to reduce the overall shock loading into the system as well as projectile velocity as a consequence of variations in structural stiffness between the composite plates and the organic interlayers. Bio-mimicked nacre derived from alumina as the base ceramic is also shown to have increased fracture toughness over an alumina monolith. One challenge to building the nacre alumina structure is the design and processing of the composite mineral plates which should be comprised of roughly 90-95% nano-filler and 5-10% organic binder. In order for these plates to accurately mimic the nacre mineral plates they must also emulate aspect ratios on the order of 1:10 to 1:20. This paper will discuss the design and processing of nacre-alumina plates for studies into the impact behavior of nacre composites.
