Low-Velocity Drop Weight Impact And Compression After Impact Properties Of Symmetric Quasi-Isotropic Cfrtp Composites, Youyi Zhou, Kyungbin Min
Low-Velocity Drop Weight Impact And Compression After Impact Properties Of Symmetric Quasi-Isotropic Cfrtp Composites, Youyi Zhou, Kyungbin Min
Research & Creative Achievement Day
Low-velocity impact properties and residual compression strength after impact performance are used to evaluate composite materials for many applications. In this research, low-velocity drop-weight impact and compression after impact performance of four continuous fiber reinforcement thermoplastic (CFRTP) composites are investigated. Quasi-isotropic samples of GF/PP, CF-PA12, CF-PA6, GF-PA6 were fabricated and tested according to ASTM standards. Three energy levels of 10, 15, and 20 J/mm, were employed in this research. Results indicate that GF/PP exhibits the highest damage resistance and rebound-ability, evidenced by its minimal indentation and damage area, the highest significant damage threshold force, and the highest ratio of impact …

Commodity thermoplastic polymers provide good load transfer to and protection of the reinforcing fibers. However, their mechanical properties are inferior to high-performance thermoplastic polymer composites. Findings of preliminary research conducted at WSU showed that continuous fiber reinforced (CFR) commodity polymers such as PETG and PP have better Izod impact resistance than their high-performance CFR counterparts. Further investigation of these findings is conducted in this research project. Quasi-isotropic laminates of GF/PETG and GF/PET-am are fabricated and tested in drop weight impact. The results will be compared with previously determined results of high-performance CF/PPS, CF/PA12 and GF/PPS. The samples are fabricated using …

The goal of the Ergo Carbon Workspace is to create a monitor stand that is both lightweight and easily transportable, catering to the needs of modern workspaces. Constructed from carbon fiber, epoxy resin, and a honeycomb core, this design emphasizes portability without sacrificing durability. Incorporating aerospace-grade honeycomb core as well as braided carbon fiber epoxy struts bolsters structural integrity while maintaining a lightweight part. The Ergo Carbon Workspace design facilitates effortless assembly and disassembly, simplifying transportation and packaging. Through the utilization of composite materials, the stand achieves an optimal balance of strength and portability. Ergo Carbon Workspace will also incorporate …
