A Review on Exploring the Behavior of Multi-Layer Composite Structures Under Dynamic Loading

Abstract

This paper reviews the recent research progress on multi-layer composite structures composed of variety of materials. The utilization of multi-layer composite system is found to be common in metal structures and pavement systems. The layer of composite structure designed to encounter heavy dynamic energy should have sufficient ductility to counteract the intensity of energy. Therefore, the selection of materials and enhancement of interface bonding become crucial and both are discussed in this paper. The failure modes have also been explored in conjunction with stresses at failures and inferred solutions are also revealed. The paper attempts to reveal all technical facts on multi-layer composite structure in a broad field. 

Investigation of the Interlaminar Shear Performance of Tufted Preforms and Composites under Mode II Loading Condition

“…Advanced laminated textile reinforced composites have been extensively used in many industrial fields on account of their lightweight properties and better mechanical performance such as the higher in plane strength, stiffness, and resistance to fatigue compared to metallic materials. However, the conventional two-dimensional (2D) laminated structure shows unsatisfied interlaminar shear under mode I opening loading or mode II sliding loading because of the lack of linkage fibre positioned across the thickness direction [1][2][3]. A large number of studies conducted over the last two decades demonstrate that Through the Thickness Reinforcement (TTR) can meaningfully improve the resistance to delamination by inserting threads in the thickness direction [4][5][6][7][8].…”
