The effect of hybridization on the GFRP behavior under high velocity impact

Measurement of ballistic impact properties of woven kenaf–aramid hybrid composites

“…It was found that the placing of E-glass layers in the exterior and carbon layers in the interior provides higher ballistic limit velocity than placing carbon layers in the exterior and E-glass layers in the interior. Similar studies on synthetic-synthetic fibres hybrid composites were reported by Enfedaque et al [9], Muhi et al [27], Hazell et al [28] and Sayer et al [29].…”

Effect of dioctyl phthalate (DOP) modified matrix on the thermal stability of glass fiber reinforced composite

“…In the same work, the hybrid of the fibers in the same matrix was reported to have better mechanical properties than the monolithic composites. The effect of fiber combination of high impact velocity property was reported, Muhi et al (2009), showed that hybrid of E-glass fiber/Kevlar 29 fiber composites composite using hand lay-up method performed better than glass fiber reinforced polyester (GFRP) where polyester was used as matrix under high impact velocity. The tensile strength and modulus of aramid fiber in 50:50 matrix of phenol formaldehyde and polyvinyl butyral were also reported to be higher than those of nylon 66 in the same matrix (Morye et al, 2000).…”

“…Fiber reinforced polymers have wide range of applications in aerospace, defence, transportation etc because of their high specific strength and modulus (Rout et al, 2001;Thanomsilp and Hogg, 2003;Wan et al, 2005;Huda et al, 2007;Muhi et al, 2009). In recent time, the applications of fiber reinforced polymer matrices have found tremendous growth in primary load bearing structures such as airframe in aircrafts, satellites and space vehicles where service temperature requirement is about 120°C, however, attention is now turning to high temperature application of such composites in such areas as aero-engines and airframes of supersonic or hypersonic aircraft where temperature requirement is about 200 to 400°C (Mangalgiri, 2005).…”

Effect of Bullet Shape and H/a Ratio on Ballistic Impact Behaviour of FRP Composite Plate: A Numerical Study

“…The dynamic test was executed using pneumatic and powder guns. Muhi et al [2] worked on hybridization of glass fiber reinforced composite with Kevlar 29 and finally hybridized plate was impacted by steel bullet. Energy absorption in the plate had been studied for different combination of glass fiber and Kevlar 29 fiber.…”
