Elmahdy, A. M., A. M. Elhabak, M. A. Adly, and M. M. Elbawab, "Experimental Study of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polyester Under Repeated Impacts", Shock & Vibration, Aircraft/Aerospace, and Energy Harvesting, Volume 9: Springer International Publishing, pp. 129-136, 2015. Abstract

The results of an experimental study on the repeated impact behavior of woven glass fiber reinforced polyesters are presented. Tests were carried out using a specially designed repeated impact testing machine, which utilizes a pneumatic system to apply the loads, and a data acquisition system to directly measure the number of impacts and deflections of the specimens. Calibration results of the device are reported and a comparison is carried out between experimental and analytical impact forces. Dynamic deflections and impact fatigue trend of composite specimens under repeated impacts are also discussed.
