The Impact

The purpose of this work is to study the best number of layer with the higher impact energy using Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP). The number of layers used in this study was 25, 33, 41, and 49. The impact test was performed using Single Stage Gas Gun (SSGG) for each layers given above with different bullets such as blunt, hemispherical and conical bullets. The gas gun pressure was set to 5, 10, 15 and 20 bar. All of the signals captured from the impact test were recorded using a ballistic data acquisition system. The correlation between the impact energy in terms of number of layer and type of bullet from this test are presented and discussed. It can be summarise that as the number of layer increases, impact energy also increases. In addition, from the results, it was observed that by using different types of bullets (blunt, hemispherical, conical), there is only a slight difference in values of energy absorbed by the specimen.

Chopped Strand Mat

Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) plates subject to quasi-static indentation loading were studied. The plates were fabricated from three layers of chopped strand mat glass fibre and polyester resin using vacuum infusion process. Indentation tests were conducted on the plates with loading rates of 1 mm/min, 10 mm/min, 100 mm/min and 500 mm/min using a hemispherical tip indenter with diameter 12.5 mm. The plates were clamped in a square fixture with an unsupported space of 100 mm × 100 mm. The loads and deflections at the indented location were measured to give energy absorption-deflection curves. The results showed that the loading rate has a large effect on the indentation behaviour and energy absorbed.
