Bibliography: leaves 116-117. The effect a change in laminate stacking sequence has on its ability to dissipate projectile kinetic energy has been investigated. T800 carbon fibre filament wound tubes in an epoxy matrix are investigated, having the following lay-up; laminate A - [-35°/35°/90°3/-35°/+35°/90°3/-35°/+35°] and laminate B - [90°6/(-35°/+35°)3]. The laminates underwent projectile impact up to and beyond their ballistic limits and the significant damage mechanisms were then measured and their contribution to energy dissipation quantified. Instrumented drop tests were also performed in order to determine the normal laminate shear fracture energy release rate and energy dissipated by friction between the projectile and laminate. 2014-07-31T11:17:45Z 2014-07-31T11:17:45Z 2000 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5450 eng application/pdf Department of Mechanical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
