Abstract

The performance of fiber-reinforced composite laminates imitating the actual in-service impact loading conditions evaluated through an instrumented drop weight impact testing machine has been reviewed thoroughly. The study of the contact force response during impact is critical in determining the energy absorption capacity of the composites through force–displacement plots. Low-velocity impact (LVI) studies of synthetic fiber composites are extensively studied however, the natural fiber-based composites (NFC) are being studied for impact loading resistance that can offer competitive properties to some of the potential synthetic fiber-based composites (SFC). A comprehensive study on bast natural fiber-based composites is presented, discussing the impact resistance, failure modes, and residual properties towards use in automotive/aerospace applications.
