“…The application of electrical current during impact events on carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites has been performed by researchers in the past [1][2][3]5 . In these experiments ASTM standards D5728-07 and D3763-06 as well as the Standard Tests for Toughened Resin Composites developed by NASA were used in developing proper test fixtures and experimental procedures.…”

“…The objective of the study of electrified samples was three-fold: (1) to determine whether or not the application of a pulsed electric current changes the impact resistance of the composite samples; (2) to determine the effect of increasing the number of buckypaper layers on the impact resistance of electrified composites; and (3) to determine the effect of increasing the electric pulse magnitude on the impact resistance of electrified composites.…”

In this work, the impact behavior of the electrified carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites with carbon nanotube (CNT) buckypaper layers has been studied. A custom-built experimental setup that allows for real time measurements of pulsed electric current, voltage, load, and velocity during coordinated application of a current pulse with an impact load was utilized. The experimental setup included a current pulse generator capable of producing a 30 millisecond current pulse with an amplitude of up to 2500 A. The application of the peak of the current pulse was coordinated with the peak of the impact load. A series of electrical, impact, and coordinated electrical-impact characterization tests were performed on three types of samples: 16-ply IM7/977-3 unidirectional laminates; laminates containing four layers of buckypaper (BP) and 12 unidirectional IM7/977-3 layers arranged as CF 2 /BP/CF 4 /BP/CF 4 /BP/CF 4 /BP/CF 2 ; and laminates containing seven layers of buckypaper and nine unidirectional IM7/977-3 layers arranged as [CF 2 /BP] 7 /CF 2 . The results show that addition of buckypapers can lead to the increased impact resistance of CFRP composites.

“…This thesis is motivated by studies of Telitchev et al [1,2] and Sierakowski et al [3], who investigated the impact response of electrified carbon fiber polymer matrix composites and showed that impact resistance of composites can be improved by subjecting them to electrical load at the moment of impact. It was noticed that the magnitude of the applied electric current had a considerable effect on the propagation of impact damage in the composite: the stronger was the applied current, the less impact damage was observed in the experiments.…”

Recent advances in manufacturing of multifunctional materials have provided opportunities to develop structures that possess superior mechanical properties with other concurrent capabilities such as sensing, self-healing, electromagnetic and heat functionality. The idea is to fabricate components that can integrate multiple capabilities in order to develop lighter and more efficient structures. In this regard, due to their combined structural and electrical functionalities, electrically conductive carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) matrix composites have been used in a wide variety of applications in most of which they are exposed to unwanted impact-like mechanical loads. Experimental data have suggested that the application of an electromagnetic field ABSTRACT Recent advances in manufacturing of multifunctional materials have provided opportunities to develop structures that possess superior mechanical properties with other concurrent capabilities such as sensing, self-healing, electromagnetic and heat functionality.
