Temperature and moisture can cause degradation to the impact properties of plant fiber-based composites owing to their complex chemical composition and multi-layer microstructure. This study focused on experimental characterization of the effect of important influencing factors, including manufacturing process temperature, exposure temperature, and water absorption, on the impact damage threshold and damage mechanisms of flax fiber reinforced composites. Firstly, serious reduction on the impact damage threshold and damage resistance was observed, this indicated excessive temperature can cause chemical decomposition and structural damage to flax fiber. It was also shown that a moderate high temperature resulted in lower impact damage threshold. Moreover, a small amount of water absorption could slightly improve the damage threshold load and the damage resistance. However, more water uptake caused severe degradation on the composite interface and structural damage of flax fiber, which reduced the impact performance of flax fiber reinforced composites.

Composites are vulnerable to the impact damage by the collision as to the thickness direction, because composites are being manufactured by laminating the fiber. The understanding about the retained strength after the impact damage of the material is essential in order to secure the reliability of the structure design using the composites. In this paper, we have tried to evaluate the motion of the material according to the kinetic energy and potential energy and the retained strength after impact damage by testing the free fall test of the basalt fiber reinforced composite in the limelight as the environment friendly characteristic.
