Velocity Impact Properties of Hybrid Laminate Composites
Abstract
The paper present the velocity impact properties of fibre-metal laminate (FML) composites of a sandwich natural (flax and kenaf) and synthetic (carbon) with a thin sheets of aluminium alloyT3-2024. The paper investigates the velocity impact properties of the hybrid composite and compared the results of the two composites. Mould of 400 mm x 400 mm was used to fabricate the samples of the composites by hand lay-up method. The fabricated composites undergo a velocity impact test by using a gun tunnel. The result of the properties test shows the velocity impact strength for low and high-velocity, with kenaf composite having the highest percentage of 22.72% and 19.91% than flax composite respectively. Likewise in specific perforation energy and absorb energy it is greater by 29.87% and 16.07 respectively. In Conclusion, the result indicates that the hybrid composites can be used to replace the synthetic in the near future.
