Effects of temperature and moisture on the high strain rate compression response of graphite/epoxy composites
Article Abstract:
Room and high temperature tests were carried out on unidirectional graphite/epoxy laminates and both dry samples and samples subjected to moist/freeze conditioning for 42 days were tested. The effect of plasticizing or matrix becoming ductile at higher temperature was clearly evident from the dynamic stress-strain response as well as the damage modes while the effect of moisture conditioning at sub-freezing temperature was similar to that observed at high temperature of 190 degrees C.

Low velocity impact and compression-after-impact response of Z-pin reinforced core sandwich composites
Article Abstract:
Results demonstrate that the damage minimization under low velocity impact is greater when the pin cluster is closer during the compression-after-impact response of the pin-reinforced foam. Data further indicate that pin debonding and delamination of the z-pin reinforced core sandwich composites are consequences of compressive failure.
