Types and characteristics of defects produced by low-velocity transverse impact loading on (+/-45 degrees(2), 90 degrees) S-glass and (+/-54 degrees(3), 90 degrees) E-glass fibre reinforced epoxy composites were investigated in this study. For both materials, the specimens were in the form of thin-walled cylindrical tubes. A test set-up capable of producing low-velocity transverse impact at energy levels between 3.5 J and 8.5 J was designed and manufactured. Fifteen specimens were tested from each type of composite material. Point-like defects which are the initiation of cracks in the matrix, regular and irregular cracks, and delamination zones caused by impact, were observed. Visual inspection and post-emulsified fluorescent penetrant systems were utilized for damage detection. Type and extent of the damage produced is presented in terms of impact energy.

Detection of low-velocity impact damage in glass/epoxy tubes by the penetrant method Doyum, Ahmet Bülent; Altay, B (1998-02-01) In this study, detection possibility of different types of defects produced as a result of low-velocity transverse impact loading on (+/-45 degrees(2), 90 degrees) S-glass and (+/-54 degrees(3), 90 degrees) E-glass fibre-reinforced epoxy tubular specimens were investigated. Visual inspection, water-washable red dye, water-washable fluorescent and post-emulsified fluorescent penetrant systems were utilised for damage detection. A test set-up was designed and manufactured for producing low-velocity transverse...
Effect of resin and fiber on the abrasion, impact and pressure resistance of cylindrical composite structures Kaya, Derya; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Department of Chemical Engineering (2011) The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of resin and fiber on the abrasion, impact and internal pressure resistances of fiber reinforced plastic composite pipes produced by continuous filament winding method. For this study, pipe samples were produced with different combinations of resin type, fiber type, fiber amount and fiber length. All the samples were tested in accordance with the related ISO (International Organization for Standardization), DIN (German Standardization Institution) and BSI...
Behavior of steel-concrete partially composite beams with channel type shear connectors Baran, Eray; Topkaya, Cem (2014-06-01) This paper summarizes the findings of an experimental study investigating the flexural behavior of partially composite beams incorporating channel type shear connectors. Results from monotonic load testing of four full-scale steel-concrete composite beams and a steel beam are presented. The main effort focused on identifying the variation of strength and stiffness properties of beams with various degrees of partial composite action. Behavior of channel shear connectors in the composite beam specimens is rel...
Low velocity ballistic impact behaviour of the Al-matrix composites Kaya, Seyfi; Ögel, Bilgehan; Yıldırım, Orhan; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2002) In this study, a drop-weight set-up was used for low velocity ballistic behaviour of various materials. The test includes the free fall of 5 kg hammer from a height of 4 m and impacting the specimen with a 8 mm diameter punching rod. The criteria in the test is penetration/no penetration as well as the failure mechanism in the tested specimen. The test materials were selected as Ck67 steel, pure Al, and AI-B4C composites. The Ck67 steel plate was quenched and tempered to yield UTS of 800 MPa and higher. Al-...
Seismic Retrofit of Deficient RC Structures with Internal Steel Frames ÖZÇELİK, RAMAZAN; Akpinar, Ugur; Binici, Barış (2011-12-01) This paper describes an experimental study on internal steel frames (ISFs) to retrofit seismically deficient reinforced concrete (RC) frames. One reference and six strengthened frame specimens were tested under constant gravity load and cyclic lateral displacement excursions. Installation of the ISF with and without anchors to the RC frame was examined. Test results showed that the snug tight ISF installed inside an RC frame may suffice to realize the benefit of implementing ISFs. If the horizontal shear st...
