Abstract
An experimental study is described into the response of affordable plain weave carbon/epoxy composite laminates to high strain rate compression loading, using a modified Compression Split Hopkinson’s Pressure Bar under off-axis loading. Laminates were manufactured using aerospace-grade woven fabrics using a vacuum-assisted resin infusion moulding technique. Samples were subsequently subjected to high strain rate compression loading and tested along 0 degrees, 15 degrees, 30 degrees and 45 degrees off-axes angles. Quasi-static tests were also conducted to compare results with the dynamic response. Failure modes were evaluated using optical micrographs, and results were analysed in terms of peak stress, strain at peak stress, failure modes and orientation. 17 refs.
