“…In this section, impact threats for wind turbine blades are compared according to their impact velocity. The impact can be classified [159] as low velocity impact (𝑉 𝑖𝑚𝑝 < 30 m∕s); high velocity impact (30 m∕s < 𝑉 𝑖𝑚𝑝 < 200 m∕s); ballistic impact (𝑉 𝑖𝑚𝑝 > 200 m∕s) and hyper-velocity impact (𝑉 𝑖𝑚𝑝 > 15 000 m∕s). For wind turbine blades, only low velocity impact and high velocity impact are relevant.…”

“…Erosion of polymer composites due to solid particle impacts is common on many occasions, such as helicopter or wind turbine blades working in a desert, which frequently suffer from functional failures due to the damage [1]. To improve a 'safe life' of a polymer composite, the method of reinforcements of composites is thought to be important [2].…”

Textile polymer composite is made of structured fibre matrix using textile technologies in fabrication, and gains benefits from strong mechanical properties with extra light weight. However, erosion behaviours and associated wear mechanisms of the composites may be influenced by the fibre structures due to heterogeneous composition and complex architectural topologies. Understanding the erosive mechanisms of the structured composites can be important, not only for preventing surface damage and loss of mechanical strength but also for improving design and fabrication of the composites. This paper presents an experimental study of erosive wear under sand blasting on 3D woven carbon-fibre-reinforced textile composites with epoxy. The architectural topology methods of the composites include non-crimped bidirectional, tufted bidirectional, 3D layer-to-layer and 3D orthogonal textile methods. The erosion tests were conducted on four impact angles (20°, 30°, 45° and 90°) under one impact velocity at 40 m/s. The study results show that the erosive mechanism of the textile composites is different from that of the neat substrate material. The observations from this study also reveal the different erosive behaviours between the composites with different fibre structures. It concludes that architectural structures can influence the erosion of a textile composite but will not result in significant differences in the wear resistance of the composites (<20%).

“…Among these natural and synthetic fibers, flax, in hybrid form with carbon fibers, has recently been found to offer a distinct set of characteristics, regardless of the matrix being thermoplastic or thermoset. These hybrid composites offer a high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent stiffness and impact resistance, and low environmental impact compared to traditional carbon composites [ 26 , 27 , 28 ]. The carbon fibers provide high stiffness and strength, while the flax fibers offer superior impact resistance [ 29 , 30 ], damping properties [ 31 , 32 ], and sustainability [ 33 ].…”

Hybridizing carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers with natural fibers could be a solution to prevent delamination and improve the out-of-plane properties of laminated composites. Delamination is one of the initial damage modes in composite laminates, attributed to relatively poor interlaminar mechanical properties, e.g., low interlaminar strength and fracture toughness. This study examined the interlaminar bond strength, flexural properties, and hardness of carbon/flax/polyamide hybrid bio-composites using peel adhesion, three-point bending, and macro-hardness tests, respectively. In this regard, interlayer hybrid laminates were produced with a sandwich fiber hybrid mode, using woven carbon fiber plies (C) as the outer layers and woven flax fiber plies (F) as the inner ones (CFFC) in combination with a bio-based thermoplastic polyamide 11 matrix. In addition, non-hybrid carbon and flax fiber composites with the same matrix were produced as reference laminates to investigate the hybridization effects. The results revealed the advantages of hybridization in terms of flexural properties, including a 212% higher modulus and a 265% higher strength compared to pure flax composites and a 34% higher failure strain compared to pure carbon composites. Additionally, the hybrid composites exhibited a positive hybridization effect in terms of peeling strength, demonstrating a 27% improvement compared to the pure carbon composites. These results provide valuable insights into the mechanical performance of woven carbon–flax hybrid bio-composites, suggesting potential applications in the automotive and construction industries.
