AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF LOW VELOCITY IMPACT RESPONSE FOR COMPOSITE LAMINATED PLATES
Öz
This paper deals with the response of E-glass/epoxy
laminated plates subjected to low velocity impact loading. Impact tests were
performed using a specially designed vertical drop-weight testing machine. The
samples used for this study were 8 plies symmetric laminated composites. These
composites were characterized by three different stacking sequences, [0/90]2s,
[-30/30]2s, [-45/45]2s, and they were compared
with each other. Specimens were impacted at constant weight and different
impact energies. Damage processes examined step by step from initiation of
damage to final perforation. The studies were carried out on plate dimension of
140mm x140mm with both four and two opposite sides clamped. Impact loads were
applied at the center of each plate.
Effect of different clamped cases,
stacking sequences and impact energies were investigated on the composite
structures.
