Impact Behaviour of Composite Materials by Using Low and High Speed Impact Tests

Article Preview

Abstract:

The study presents the need for instrumented testing to optimizing materials against impact forces. The objective of the study is how the impact behaviour of composite materials is investigated by slow and high speed impact tests. Instron Dynatup 9250HV and Instron Dynatup 8150 Impact test machines (Fig.1.) are used which are located in TUBITAK-MRC, Materials Institute , Impact Test Laboratory". The damage process in composite materials under low and high velocity impact loading and the impact energy-displacement properties of the composite materials were investigated. Composite samples were produced by woven fabrics. The results are given as graphs and tables. The Impulse Data Acquisition software is used to send the data to computer.
