An experimental campaign was performed on 5.5 mm thick carbon/epoxy specimens and results were compared with data obtained in a previous work to understand thickness influence on material mechanical characteristics. In particular, this campaign consists of two different steps: impacts tests, performed by means of a modified Charpy pendulum, and Compression After Impact (CAI), using Wyoming Combined Loading Compression (CLC) test method. Impacts were performed on twenty cross-ply specimens with different energies and impact location. Other 5 specimens were tested only in compression. Non Destructive Inspections (NDI) by Ultrasonic Test (UT) were performed on impacted and pristine specimens, in order to understand damage size and correlate it with residual strength results. During CLC tests, compression strength and Young modulus values were acquired.

Abstract

An experimental campaign was performed on 5.5 mm thick carbon/epoxy specimens and results were compared with data obtained in a previous work to understand thickness influence on material mechanical characteristics. In particular, this campaign consists of two different steps: impacts tests, performed by means of a modified Charpy pendulum, and Compression After Impact (CAI), using Wyoming Combined Loading Compression (CLC) test method. Impacts were performed on twenty cross-ply specimens with different energies and impact location. Other 5 specimens were tested only in compression. Non Destructive Inspections (NDI) by Ultrasonic Test (UT) were performed on impacted and pristine specimens, in order to understand damage size and correlate it with residual strength results. During CLC tests, compression strength and Young modulus values were acquired.
