The response over the low-velocity impact of various shape impactors on a glass fiber reinforced polymer composite has been numerically analyzed with hemispherical, flat, partially flat and truncated shaped impactor used to analyze behavior resistance GFRP at speeds. numerical analysis was carried out using finite element software, ABAQUS (Dynamic/Explicit). To assess laminates while impacting,...

Concrete is brittle; hence, it incredibly likely that concrete buildings may fail in both local and global ways under dynamic impulsive stresses. An extensive review investigation was carried out to examine reinforced (RC) slab behavior low-velocity impact loading. Significant past research studies dealt with experimental numerical simulations analytical modeling of the RC slabs loading have be...

Abstract In this study, non-hybrid and hybrid (Kevlar, carbon glass) fabric epoxy composite laminates were fabricated with different stacking sequences by hand lay-up followed hot-compression molding. Experimental tests conducted to investigate tensile, flexural, hardness characteristics. It was found that the sequence did not significantly affect tensile strength values of composites; however,...
