Investigation of Composite Materials Impact Damage by a Computer Tomography

Abstract

In this paper, a complex study of composite materials of different nature for the presence of internal defects after the application of impact damage was carried out. The dependence of the initiation energy on material damage from the magnitude of the impact energy is obtained. The areas of sample bundles were investigated by ultrasonic testing (UT). The structure of samples from composite materials was monitored using an industrial microtomography system. A technique was developed that allows highly accurate determining the size of internal sample defects by means of computed tomography (CT).
