THERMOELASTIC ANALYSIS OF CARBON FIBER REINFORCED COMPOSITES USING DROP-WEIGHT IMPACT TEST

Аннотация

Carbon fiber reinforced composites have become increasingly popular due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and durability. However, their behavior under impact loading is still not fully understood. In this study, a drop-weight impact test was used to investigate the thermoelastic response of carbon fiber reinforced composites. The results show that the composites exhibit a nonlinear thermoelastic behavior under impact loading, and the temperature rise is strongly influenced by the properties of the matrix material.
