An experimental investigation on impact dynamics response of woven roved glass fiber reinforced polyester laminated composites

Abstract

This research deals with the effect of stacking sequence over, the mechanical behavior of laminates that includes tensile, flexural, fractography, area of impact damage, and residual tensile strength. The angle‐ply laminate specimens were analyzed theoretically and correlated with experimental results. The highest interlaminar shear strength 32.89 MPa was exhibited by (60/30/60/30)S with better transverse stiffness of 444 N/mm. Among the developed laminates, (60/30/60/30)S showed the highest rate of residual strength degradation of 0.271. It has been found that an increase in interlaminar shear strength decreases the impact damage resistance of the composites. The angle‐ply laminate composites exhibited superior residual tensile and impact resistant properties when compared with uniply laminate composites.

Insights on the bearing response of glass fiber‐reinforced stainless steel laminates: Investigating the influence of natural fiber and specimen geometry

“…This evolution in material engineering underscores the ongoing pursuit of enhancing the performance and versatility of fiber metal laminates for broader industrial applications. 12 The focal point of this study revolves around the utilization of natural fiber-reinforced fiber metal laminates for the construction of storage silo structures. 13,14 Storage silos, employed for the storage of housing materials such as grain, coal, cement, and wood chips, among others, come in three predominant types: tower, bunker, and bag silos.…”

Glass fiber/epoxy composites with improved interfacial adhesion by using cross‐linking sizing agent

“…Incorporating fibers into polymers has been widely accepted as a facile strategy for strengthening the polymer matrix, including the mechanical behaviors, [1][2][3][4] rheological applications, 5 thermal stability, 6,7 damping properties, [8][9][10] corrosion resistance, 11,12 and flame retardation. [13][14][15] The fiber/matrix interphase has played significant roles in transmitting external stress from resin matrix to high strength fibers [16][17][18][19] since the polymer matrix suffers from external stress.…”
