Abstract

This chapter discusses the impact studies of hybrid nanocomposites. Glass fibers are used as primary reinforcement, and epoxy is used as matrix and is dispersed with nanofillers which act as secondary reinforcement. Nanoclay is varied from 1 to 5 weight percentage of epoxy. The nanocomposite laminates are prepared by hand lay-up and compression molding processes. They are subjected to projectile impact at various velocities below and above the ballistic limit using a gas gun. The energy absorbed by laminates is predicted using the velocities of projectile before and after penetration when subjected to impact above the ballistic limit. The failure modes of laminates are analyzed, and the energy absorbed in each failure mode is predicted experimentally and analytically. Results show nanofiller dispersion enhances the energy-absorbing capability of nanocomposite laminates. It is also seen that the nanoclay controls the delamination area of the laminates.
