Abstract
In this study, experimental investigations on stitched and unstitched woven carbon/epoxy laminates under high strain rate compression loading are discussed. Stitched/unstitched laminates are fabricated with aerospace grade plain and satin weave fabrics with room temperature curing SC-15 epoxy resin using affordable vacuum assisted resin infusion molding process. The samples are subjected to high strain rate loading using modified compression split Hopkinson’s pressure bar at three different strain rates ranging from 320 to 1149 s −1. Results are discussed in terms of unstitched/stitched configuration, fabric type and loading directions. Dynamic compression properties are compared with those of static loading. Failure mechanisms are characterized through optical and scanning microscopy.
