Abstract

Experimental and Numerical Approach to Investigate Damage Tolerance in FRP Composites Subjected to Transverse Low-Velocity Impact

Highlights

  • Fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs) are the most popular material for advanced structural applications in several industries

  • Grave concern of low-velocity impact (LVI) is barely visible damage (BVD) which exists in form of matrix cracking or delamination

  • This paper reports about low velocity impact of symmetrical designed glass/epoxy composite plate which is exposed to three energy levels of 50J, 70J and 90J

Summary

Introduction

Fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs) are the most popular material for advanced structural applications in several industries. This low-velocity indentation can cause matrix failure, delamination, and fiber breakage of the composite component. This research proposes a novel method for the complete study of damage tolerance of GFRP laminate by combining experimental and numerical simulation.
