Effect of Low Level Impact on Advanced Hybrid Composites.

Abstract

Advanced hybrid composites fabricated with graphite fibers and third phase reinforcement were evaluated as to their capability of improving impact resistance. The third phase reinforcements investigated were glass cloth, aluminum wire screen, titanium foil and glass yarn. Off-axis hybrid composites with a fiber orientation of 0, plus or minus 45, 90 degrees were tested in flexure, tensile, shear and unnotched instrumented impact.
