Abstract | ||||
ABSTRACT In this study unidirectional E-glass/epoxy composite plates were tested. The panels were cut into specimens of 140x140 mm in dimension with an average thickness of 3 mm and stacking sequence of [+45/-45/90/0]2s The impact tests performed with impactor mass (18 kg) at five different impact velocities (2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 m/s) were conducted with a specially developed vertical drop weight testing machine. The diameter of the impactor with a hemispherical nose was 24 mm. The center of each plate was exposed to impact loading. The differences in the impact responses of specimens with varying impact velocities are characterized. | ||||
