Impact damage resistance

The Performance-Based Seismic Design (PBSD) is an advanced approach to designing earthquake-resistant structures, ensuring that a building meets specific performance objectives under seismic impacts. Unlike traditional design codes, PBSD aims to predict and control the damage to structures based on defined earthquake levels, minimizing damage and repair costs after an earthquake.

In this study, the impact response of glass/epoxy laminates interleaved by Polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers is considered. PCL is a thermoplastic polymer, which is a good choice for toughening epoxy-based composite. The impact tests were conducted on curved laminates and under 24 and 36J.

Variation of the impact characteristics such as maximum contact load, maximum deflection, maximum contact time, absorbed energy are depicted in the figures. The results showed that PVDF nanofibers are not a good choice for toughening epoxy and improving impact damage resistance of GFRP.
