“…Various studies on the low-velocity impact behavior of hybrid composites have been conducted, concerning the sample size, material, and impactor type, most of which having focused on the effect of the stacking sequence [14], especially for the interlayer hybrid structure [15]. Jiang et al [16] compared the energy absorption in the sinusoidal plate with different stacking sequences, where it was shown that different stacking sequences had significant influences on failure modes and energy absorption capability.…”

Composites have gained wide use in structural applications; however, they are sensitive to impact damage. The use of hybrid composites is an effective way to overcome this deficiency. The effects of various hybrid structures of interlayer and intralayer warp-knitted fabrics with carbon and glass fibers on the low-velocity impact behavior of composite laminates were studied. Drop-weight impact tests were conducted on two types of interlayer, sandwich and intralayer hybrid composite laminates, which were compared with homogenous composite laminates. During low-velocity impact tests, the time histories of impact forces and absorbed energy by laminate were recorded. The failure modes were analyzed using the micro-CT (computed tomography) and C-scan techniques. The results revealed that the hybrid structure played an important role in peak force and the absorbed energy, and that the hybrid interface had an influence on damage modes, whereas the intralayer hybrid composite laminate damage was affected by the impact location. The intralayer hybrid laminate with C:G = 1:1 exhibited better impact resistance compared to the other hybrid structures.

“…This stiff and highly damped composite is sandwiched between thin sheets of a magnesium alloy. This hybrid composite system offers an excellent response under both static and low-velocity impact loadings [24,25,33,34]. However, its vibration characteristics have not been explored yet, especially how its vibration properties differ compared to the conventionally used FML, GLARE [35], as well as other light-weight materials such as aluminum and fiberglass-reinforced epoxy.…”

The aim of this paper is to assess the accuracy and reliability of a simple non-destructive sonic technique for evaluating the effective elastic and vibration properties (damping coefficient) of various isotropic and orthotropic materials-in particular, of a recently developed class of 3D fiber-metal laminates (FML). Aluminum, E-glass/epoxy composite, 3D-FML, and glass-reinforced aluminum FML (GLARE) materials were considered. It is exhibited that the 3D-FML offers the greatest damping characteristics in comparison to all the considered materials. Moreover, the sonic technique, facilitated through the use of a GrindoSonic equipment, proves to produce accurate and reliable results with minimal effort. Finite element analysis is also employed to further establish the accuracy of the properties evaluated by the experimental data. The utility of the established homogenized experimental properties within the finite element framework is also discussed.

“…Metal layers have been applied in conventional fiber-reinforced polymers to improve the impact resistance [17]. Other structures, such as particle-reinforced [18,19], sandwich plate [20,21], and three-dimensional (3D) fabric [22,23] structures, have been developed in recent years.…”

A Three-Phase Model Characterizing the Low-Velocity Impact Response of SMA-Reinforced Composites under a Vibrating Boundary Condition

Structural vibration induced by dynamic load or natural vibration is a non-negligible factor in failure analysis. Based on a vibrating boundary condition, the impact resistance of shape memory alloy (SMA)-reinforced composites was investigated. In this investigation, a modified Hashin’s failure criterion, Brinson’s model, and a visco-hyperelastic model were implemented into a numerical model to characterize the mechanical behavior of glass fiber/epoxy resin laminates, SMAs, and interphase, respectively. First, a fixed boundary condition was maintained in the simulation to verify the accuracy of the material parameters and procedures by a comparison with experimental data. Then, a series of vibrating boundaries with different frequencies and amplitudes was applied during the simulation process to reveal the effect on impact resistances. The results indicate that the impact resistance of the composite under a higher frequency or a larger amplitude is lower than that under a lower frequency or a smaller amplitude.
