Filament wound composite pipes are being used in more and more applications. However, the impact behavior of these pipes is of particular importance in many applications. The sudden failure of these pipes under low velocity impact loads can be dangerous especially when the medium inside the pipe is hazardous or toxic in nature. The impact response of a composite laminate depends upon various factors such as thickness, stacking sequence and number of layers. The primary focus of this paper is parametric study of low velocity impact damage of CFRP and GFRP pipes under varying design parameters using finite element analysis. The simulation results are then used along with the ANN (Artificial Neural Networks) to fit a function to estimate the amount of absorbed energy.

Low velocity impact strength of the fabric reinforced geocomposite has investigated in this article. Various fabrics such as carbon and E-glass were considered for reinforcement in geopolymer matrix. The primary two parameters such as low velocity, impact damage modes are explained on the E-glass and carbon based fabric geocomposite. The onset mode of damage to failure mode is examined through C-scan analysis. The quality of the composite is observed using c-scan with acoustic vibration mode of sensor before and after impact test. Then the effect of fabric and matrix on the impact behaviour is discussed. Residual strength of the composite is measured to determine post impact behaviour. It has been observed that resistance properties of E-glass reinforced composite is better than carbon fabric reinforced composite.
