Abstract:

This paper demonstrated results of an experimental study on Kevlar/fiberglass composite

laminate subjected to impact loading at variable temperaturesThe effect of temperature on maximum

energy, elastic energy, maximum deflection after impact was studied at several low velocity impact

energy levels(8J, 15J and 25J) The  temperatures considered were in the range of -50℃ to 120℃

Results indicated that impact performance of these composites was affected over the range of

temperature considered.

Key words: impact behaviour, delamination, composite
