Abstract

The energy absorption characteristics of glass/epoxy pultruded composite under two different lateral confinement conditions was experimentally investigated at both quasi-static and dynamic loading conditions. Dynamic compressive behavior at an average strain rate of 565 s−1 was carried out using Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar. Pure glass/epoxy composite has shown a significant increase in strength and energy absorption under dynamic compression compared to quasi-static loading. The glass/epoxy composite confined by carbon fiber under both the confinement cases showed strain rate sensitivity. Under quasi-static and dynamic loading, the confinement case with carbon fiber orientation balanced both in longitudinal and in hoop direction has resulted in better specific energy absorption over the pure glass/epoxy composite.
