Study of Drop Impact Resistance on Fiber Reinforced Composite Plates

The project has improved the testing jig by adding guiding tubes, release mechanism
and other support structures. Three different fiber reinforced composite plates are glass fiber woven & chopped and carbon woven undergo a series of impact test by using a 25 Joule and 50 Joule impact energies. Ultrasonic test trace the damage area of the composite plate by variation of sound waves which cause by internaldelamination and data transfer from transparent grid to CATIA to compute the damage area.
