    DROP WEIGHT IMPACT ANALYSIS OF GLASS

    FIBER REINFORCED COMPOSITE

    ABSTRACT
    In many industrial structures, including vehicles, aircraft and civil systems, fiber enhanced
    materials are commonly used due to their lower weights relative to metal structures. Composite
    structures are becoming a proper replacement for current metals, particularly in automotive and
    aviation industries. Damage to these impact-prone structures is a critical case study for this
    reason. The fiber of glass has low density and modulus of elasticity, but strength is very high. In
    different environmental conditions, it is also durable. Glass fiber is also one of the common
    materials tested by researchers by combining it with various matrices and reinforcements. The
    typical types of damages are mainly caused during production, repair, maintenance, or by
    particle crashes during function, and collisions between different structures. In this project, three
    different cases are being studied after impacted with different weights under different height. The
    glass fiber which will be combined with epoxy resin to increase their impact strength. The
    materials will be fabricated using a hand lay-up technique with the aid of a hot-press machine.
    The process of preparing the compound will be based on a 2:1 ratio, that is, two portions of
    epoxy to one portion of hardener by mass. Herein, drop-weight impact tests of glass fiber
    reinforced composite will be conducted in the testing machine to investigate the drop impact
    properties. In addition, with the help of ABAQUS simulation analysis will be carried out.
