Abstract
In the current study, the effects of stacking sequence layers of hybrid composite materials on ballistic energy absorption, which were fabricated from Kevlar, carbon, glass fibres, and resin have been experimentally investigated at the high velocity ballistic impact conditions. All the samples have equal mass, shape, and density, nevertheless, they have different stacking sequence layers. After running the ballistic test in the same conditions, the final velocities of the bullets showed that how much energy absorbed by the samples. The energy absorption of each sample through the ballistic impact has been calculated, accordingly, the decent ballistic impact resistance materials could be found by conducting the test. This paper can be further studied in order to characterize the material properties.
Highlights
Progressions in the use of hybrid composite materials for the structure of aircraft and auto-mobile industries have risen considerably over the last decade
Much experience in the use of hybrid composites in the aerospace industries has been achieved from the design of composite aeroplanes, which were designed using high stiffness requirements and not for all the parts of the current body of aeroplanes being planned
With more demanding requirements this has changed and the minimization of damage is something that is required in order to satisfy higherperformance demands. This is not as simple as optimizing the elastic stiffness of the structure due to the complex damage modes that can occur in hybrid composites
Summary
Progressions in the use of hybrid composite materials for the structure of aircraft and auto-mobile industries have risen considerably over the last decade. This has been driven by the need for improved performance requirements in terms of stealth, payload, range, stability and at the same time, a reduction in costs in terms of maintenance, operation, and construction. With more demanding requirements this has changed and the minimization of damage is something that is required in order to satisfy higherperformance demands This is not as simple as optimizing the elastic stiffness of the structure due to the complex damage modes that can occur in hybrid composites. This is true under high velocity ballistic impact scenarios [1]
