Experimental Research on Medium Leakage of CFRP Laminates after Impact

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effects of thickness and impact energy on the medium leakage of composite laminates were discussed in this paper. Impact tests for the composite laminates with the size of 600 mm×700 mm with three different thicknesses were subjected to impact energy levels from 5 J to 40 J. The medium leakage and the damaged area were investigated according to different energy levels and stacking sequences. The damage area was evaluated by visual inspection and three-dimensional microscope. The experimental results reveal that the impact damage of CFRP laminates with three different thicknesses tends to be more severe as impact energy increases. The impact area and the crater depth increases with increasing impact energy. The impact area and the crater depth decreases with increasing thickness for the same impact energy.
