Abstract

Mechanical behaviors of materials are determined by experimental tests. In cases where the tests cannot be performed or a small number of samples can be tested, performing the numerical analysis is widely used for quick and reliable designs. This is particularly important for composite materials that are costly to design and manufacture but are widely used in many industries. Drop weight impact is a widely used test method to investigate the behavior of materials under the impact loads. Particularly in the areas where thin structures are frequently used, the behavior of materials under impact load is important. In this study, the behaviors of Carbon/Epoxy and Glass/Epoxy composite plates under the drop weight impact load was simulated. Composite materials have been used to have symmetrical fiber orientations. The effects of different configurations of Carbon/Epoxy and Glass/Epoxy composite plates are considered. Also, the thickness of the plate was increased by increasing the number of layers of the composite material and the effect of thickness increase on impact load was investigated. As a result, it is seen that the Carbon/Epoxy composite plate has higher impact resistance than the Glass/Epoxy composite plate. The deformation of the Glass/Epoxy composite plate is higher than the Carbon/Epoxy composite plate. The maximum impact force increases with thickness increase for both materials.

Abstract

Malzemelerin mekanik özellikleri deneysel testlerle belirlenir. Deneysel testlerin yapılamadığı veya az sayıda numunenin test edilebildiği durumlarda, sayısal analizlerin yapılması hızlı ve güvenilir tasarımlar için yaygın olarak kullanılır. Bu, tasarımı ve üretimi maliyetli olan ancak birçok endüstride yaygın olarak kullanılan kompozit malzemeler için özellikle önemlidir. Düşen ağırlık darbe testi, malzemelerin darbe yükleri altındaki davranışlarını araştırmak için yaygın olarak kullanılan bir test yöntemidir. Özellikle ince yapıların sıklıkla kullanıldığı alanlarda, malzemelerin darbe yükü altındaki davranışları önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Karbon/Epoksi ve Cam/Epoksi kompozit plakaların düşen ağırlık darbe yükü altındaki davranışları simüle edilmiştir. Kompozit malzemeler simetrik fiber yönelimlerinde kullanılmıştır. Karbon/Epoksi ve Cam/Epoksi kompozit plakaların farklı konfigürasyonlarının etkileri dikkate alınmıştır. Ayrıca, kompozit malzemenin katman sayısı arttırılarak plakanın kalınlığı arttırılmış ve kalınlık artışının darbe yükü üzerindeki etkisi araştırılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, Karbon / Epoksi kompozit plakanın Cam/Epoksi kompozit plakaya göre daha yüksek darbe direncine sahip olduğu görülmektedir. Cam/Epoksi kompozit plakanın deformasyonu, Karbon/Epoksi kompozit plakaya göre daha yüksektir. Her iki malzeme için kalınlık artışı ile birlikte maksimum darbe kuvveti artmaktadır.
