Analysis of Mechanical and Impact Properties of Prepreg Composites under Elevated Temperature

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents an experimental investigation of mechanical and impact properties of carbon and Kevlar-glass composites prepared from pre-impregnated materials. Namely, flexural performance in three-point bending at different temperatures is evaluated. Moreover, Charpy impact test and low-velocity impact test are also conducted for classification of impact properties and character of rupture. These all properties are important for material design of sport bike rims and many sport and other applications.
