Effect of stacking sequence on multi‐point low‐velocity impact and compression after impact damage mechanisms of UHMWPE composites

Abstract

Composite materials are susceptible to low velocity impact, which is a very common phenomenon. A large number of studies have been conducted on the single-point impact on their mechanical properties, but there is a lack of indepth exploration on the actual situation of multi-point impact with a certain angle distribution of impact points. In this paper, three impact points with a certain angle distribution were set to carry out low-velocity impact (LVI) sequentially, followed by compression after impact (CAI). Digital image correlation system (DIC) and X-ray micro-computed tomography techniques (micro-CT) were used to analyze the mechanical response and failure mechanisms of the specimens. Experimental results demonstrated that the distribution of impact points will directly affect the overall mechanical properties of the material, and the mechanical properties are also sensitive to the stacking sequence. More importantly, it was also found that the boundary conditions have a great influence on the overall mechanical response, which makes the surrounding damage worse.

Novel epoxy‐based glass fiber reinforced composites containing compatibilized para‐aramid fibers and silanized nanoclay for improved impact strength

“…Polymer-based nanocomposites are replacing conventional composites due to their superior properties like high strength, high modulus, good chemical/moisture resistance, easy processing, lightweight, and low cost. [1][2][3][4] Polymer matrices are reinforced with different fillers (platelets, fibers, particles, etc.) of various scales (nano-, micro-, and macro-) depending on the application.…”

Experimental analysis with grey relational analysis–analytic hierarchy process‐based hybrid optimization to analyze the effect of graphene nanoparticle reinforced ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene/n‐HAp for hip joint

“…This energy influences the toughness of a material and whether it is ductile or brittle. [ 44 ] The measurement results indicate that the impact strength of the composite material improves up to 5 wt% n‐HAp and after that drops, as seen in Figure 11.…”

An intelligent ubiquitous compression technique for DNA sequencing using Hadoop

“…In the parsing stage, the cfact algorithm uses the suffix tree to find the longest exact repeated matching substring. In the encoding stage, the repeated substring is encoded in the form of a pointer with binary groups (position and length), while the non‐repeated substring and the repeated substring for the first time are encoded with 2bit/base [9]. Carpentieri and others said that cfact algorithm can efficiently identify the longest repetition of a suffix tree, but the space‐time overhead in the construction process is large [10].…”
