Impact performance of glass fibre/epoxy composite material / Fahizi Ibrahim

This project is aimed to study the performance of composite material due to tensile and impact loads. Correlation between the residual tensile strength and the impact energy can then be made. From this, a correlation between damage strength is established. Damage tolerance of impacted Fibre Reinforc...
