This research work investigates the low-velocity impact induced damage behavior and its influence on the residual flexural response of glass/epoxy composites improved with milled glass fillers. The low-velocity impact damage employing varying impact velocities (3m/s, 3.5m/s, and 4m/s) was induced on baseline and filler loaded samples with different fiber orientations. The residual performance and their damage modes were characterized using post impact flexural (FAI) test and acoustic emission (AE) monitoring. In all fiber orientations, the filler modified glass/epoxy samples showed improved impact strength and stiffness properties. A substantial improvement in impact damage tolerance, especially for samples impacted at 3.5 m/s and 4 m/s was observed. The presence of filler at the interlaminar zone contributed to improved energy dissipation through filler debonding and pull-out. This further contributed in arresting the crack growth, showing reduced damaged area. The inclusion of milled fibers on glass/epoxy laminates enhanced the impact toughness and residual flexural behavior [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
