Abstract:In this study, an experimental methodology, consisting of low-velocity impact (LVI) and quasi-static compressive test, is conducted to investigate the performance and failure mechanism of GFRP T-joints, fabricated by vacuum-assisted resin infusion process (VARI), when subjected to out-of-plane LVI loading at the corner. Further, the effect of LVI loading on the reduction of strength is analyzed by the tensile test after LVI. In order to improve the strength of the GFRP T-joints, one layer of stainless-steel wi… Show more
