The Impact

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.

Core Materials

Sandwich composite laminates structure is a classic application of composite material on actual aircraft structural. Dealing with low-velocity impact damage and residual compressive strength of sandwich composite laminates, explicit finite element method of ABAQUS/Explicit software was adopted to simulate low-velocity impact and compression process. Impact response and invalidation on compression between sandwich composite laminates with different core materials and regular composite laminates were compared. The simulation results indicated that softer core materials can absorb more impact energy, reduce the structure damage and enhance the residual compressive strength after impact.
