Ballistic Response of a Glass Fiber Composite for Two Levels of Threat

Abstract: This paper presents the behavior of composite panels based on glass fiber unidirectional fabrics and a bi-component epoxy resin under ballistic impacts that characterize two threat levels: FB2 and FB3, according to EN 1523:2004. The tested panels had characteristics kept in narrow ranges: thickness 18.26 ± 0.22 mm, mass ratio fabrics/panel 0.788 ± 0.015, surface density 27.51 ± 0.26 kg/m2. After testing the panels, the failure mechanisms of the panel were evidenced by scanning electron microscopy and photograp… Show more

“…These parameters include impact velocity and angles. The behavior of composite panels based on glass fiber woven fabrics and a bi-component epoxy resin under ballistic impacts was evaluated using a finite-element model at the meso scale [20] while considering parameters such as projectile material, size, and speed [44]. The development of a comprehensive framework for the design of composite structures at different levels requires accurate mathematical and computational models that can simulate the dynamic impact on composite panels [45].…”

“…Additionally, the orientation of the fibers in the impact direction has been found to improve the impact energy absorption and overall mechanical response of the composites [50,51]. Finite element simulations have been used to evaluate the behavior of composite panels under ballistic impacts, providing insights into the number of layers broken, delamination effects, and deformation patterns [20].…”
