Instrumented Impact Testing of Fabric-Reinforced Composite Materials.

摘要

Instrumented impact and ultrasonic inspection were used to assess the impact damage resistance of six fabric-reinforced laminates. Polyester and vinylester resins reinforced with woven roving, biaxial reinforcement, and glass/Kevlar hybrid were evaluated. Biaxial fabric reinforced resins had the best impact resistance. This determination is based on the ability of these materials to survive impact with the lowest friction of impact energy resulting in damage. In addition laminates with biaxial reinforcement ahd comparable damage areas to the other materials. (AW)
