Analysis of Impact Behaviour of Sisal-Epoxy Composites under Low Velocity Regime

The present study concentrates on development of conceptual proof for sisal reinforced polymer matrix composite structural applications subjected to low velocity impact using a finite element (FE) approach. proposed sisal-epoxy various thicknesses 3.2 mm, 4 mm and 4.8 is different velocities 1 m/s, 2 m/s 3 ranging in the regime energy absorbed damage mitigation behaviour composite. consequence thickness laminate epoxy composite’s assessed statistically Taguchi’s experimental design. Outcome discloses that absorption increases with increased thickness. However, statistical shows predominant factor affecting response compared role fiber initiation studied Hashin criteria it found failure over failure.
