Spall Behaviour of Carbon Epoxy Unidirectional Composites as Compared to Aluminum and Iron

Abstract: The spall behaviour at ultrahigh strain rate ( & e p s i l o n ; & s i m ; 10 7 sec -1 ) of carbon/epoxy unidirectional composites was compared to aluminum and iron using short pulsed laser induced-shock waves. A linear dependence was obtained between plasma ablation pressure for threshold spall conditions and sample thickness.The threshold for spall damage was estimated to be 1.5 kbar for carbon epoxy unidirectional composites, 21 kbar for aluminum and 54 kbar for iron.

“…All the samples have been coated with aluminum painting before laser irradiation in order to produce a more controlled shock loading. Indeed, if the laser interaction with the aluminum has already been deeply investigated, very few investigations have been conducted on the laser interaction on composite materials [27][28][29][30]. Consequently, the correlation between the laser intensity and the corresponding pressure loading on the sample front face is well documented for aluminum.…”

“…Gilath has also studied the response of unidirectional CFRP composites to a laser-induced shock [13,14]. The SATAC research program (Shock Adhesion Test for Adhesively Bonded Composites) aims to study the composites behaviour at very high strain rate in order to test their adhesion [15][16][17].…”
