Analytical and experimental studies on the low-velocity impact response and damage of composite laminates under in-plane loads with structural damping effects

Impact response of thick composite plates under uniaxial tensile preloading

“…In the literature, few studies deal with the impact behavior of preloaded plates or shells [9]. Usually, imposed preloading amount to 6000 le for the glass fiber reinforced polyester (GFRP) [10,9] and to 2500 le for carbon fiber reinforced polyester (CFRP) [11]. The influence of uniaxial preload on the response on impact damage is reported in references [12,13,11].…”

In these references, low velocity impact on quasi-isotropic CFRP [12,11] and GFRP [13] plates have been studied and concern thin plates. Uniaxial preload was imposed by hydraulic actuator and vary from 500 le to 2400 le.…”

Low velocity impact response of fibre-metal laminates – A review

“…So, proper solution method is required to get simple, reasonable compact results. According to Abrate [116], the available solution models are classified into four categories; spring-mass models [16,117], energy-balance models [9,112,118], complete models [17] based on Classical Plate theory (CPT), Mindlin's First order Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT) [119] and some novelty methods [120].…”

A Novel Approach for Detecting, Localising and Characterising Damages in Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (Gfrp) Using the Drop Weight Impact Tester

“…In fact, non-destructive and destructive techniques are used in conjunction to improve the information quality, increasing the accuracy of inspection results, but this approach also increases the costs [16]. In this work, only the NDE using the dye penetrant technique and the microscope image viewed was used, due to a lack of other NDE equipment.A literature review on recent research on low velocity impact for various types of composite, especially for glass fibre, in order to compare the method of testing and the findingshas been performed [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30].…”
