High temperature effect on quasi-static and low velocity impact behaviors of advanced composite materials

In this study, the effect of ambient temperatures on the punch shear and low-velocity impact behavior of S2 glass fabric and carbon-kevlar hybrid fabric reinforced epoxy composites was investigated. The quasi-static tests (QST) were performed by using a Universal Shimadzu Tensile Testing Machine with various crosshead speeds. Low-velocity impact (LVI) tests were also carried out by using the CEAST Fractovis Plus impact test machine at different...
