Abstract
ABSTRACT In this study, E-glass fibre-reinforced polypropylene and epoxy matrix composites were produced in different thicknesses and subjected to low-velocity impact tests with 30 joules of energy. The tests yielded force, displacement and energy data, which were used to analyse the effects of thickness variation on impact performance in composite plates with different matrix structures. The results showed that thickness variation creates different impact responses in composites with different matrix materials.
期刊介绍:
Plastics, Rubber and Composites: Macromolecular Engineering provides an international forum for the publication of original, peer-reviewed research on the macromolecular engineering of polymeric and related materials and polymer matrix composites. Modern polymer processing is increasingly focused on macromolecular engineering: the manipulation of structure at the molecular scale to control properties and fitness for purpose of the final component. Intimately linked to this are the objectives of predicting properties in the context of an optimised design and of establishing robust processing routes and process control systems allowing the desired properties to be achieved reliably.
