Simulation of low-velocity impact damage in sandwich composites
… of composites is their high susceptibility to impact-induced damage, which may result in significant strength reduction or even structural collapse. A detailed understanding of the extent and nature of impact damage is thus greatly needed for damage tolerance based structural design and a …

Low velocity impact response of laminated textile coir-aramids/epoxy hybrid composites subjected to transverse penetration loading
… fibre has been found to have a high potential as impact resistance, in which brittle fibre helps to spread the impact energy over a wider area. The focus of the study is to determine if any improvement in impact response exists as a result of combining high performance Kevlar synthetic fibre and …

NEW GENERATION POLYMER CONCRETE INCORPORATING CARBON NANOTUBES
… concrete when special characteristics such as low permeability, high adhesion, and/or high durability for service in aggressive (e.g. chemical) environments are required. In this research, a new generation of PC incorporating Multi-Walled Carbon Nano-Tubes (MWCNTs) was produced and its …

Effect Of Impact Damage On Compression-Compression Fatigue Behavior Of Sandwich Composites
… research work was to investigate the effect of impact damage on in-plane buckling and compression-compression fatigue behavior for a new sandwich structure made from E-glass/epoxy face sheets over end-grain balsa wood core. Low velocity impact tests were carried out using a drop-weight impact …

Development of self-healing techniques for fiber reinforced composites
… stiffness and high strength in combination with low specific weight and corrosion resistance. However, during their service life, these composites due to their laminated structure (no fibers are present in transverse direction) appear matrix cracking and delaminations between the reinforcing …
