Abstract
- This study investigated the low-velocity impact response of titanium-based carbon-fibre/epoxy laminate (TI-CF FML). A comprehensive experimental study was carried out with impact energies ranging from 16.9 J to 91.9 J. Finite element analysis, performed using ABAQUS, was employed to elucidate the failure mechanisms of the laminate. Three distinct damage modes were identified based on the impact energy levels. The energy absorption characteristics of the TI-CF FML were analysed, revealing that maximum energy absorption is achieved and remains constant after penetration occurs. The relationship between impact force and displacement was also explored, showing that the laminate can withstand a peak force of 13.1 kN. The research on the impact resistance, damage mechanisms and energy absorption capacity of TI-CF FML provides an in-depth understanding of the impact behaviour of the laminate and its suitability for various industrial applications.
