Özet
Epoxy based fiber reinforced composites are widely utilized in aerospaceapplications due to mechanical properties, thermal stability and, chemicalresistance. However, it is known that materials become brittle and due to thepoor crack resist restricts their applications in cryogenic engineeringapplications. The purpose of this paper is to experimentally investigate thecryogenic temperatures’ effect on the low-velocity impact (LVI) test of compositelaminates. In addition, the effect of matrix modification in the studied compositeswas investigated. The LVI tests were conducted at RT (room temperature), 0 °C,-50 °C, -150 °C and -196 °C (liquid nitrogen temperature) on the compositelaminates to measure influence on their energy absorption capacity. LVI testsperformed according to ASTM-D-7136 standard under 10, 20 and 30 J impactenergy levels. The results show that the contact forces and energy absorptioncapacities are improved by adding SiO2 nanoparticles into the epoxy matrix. Theabsorbed energy at cryogenic temperatures is increased by 24.87% from 18.1 Jof pure epoxy resin to 22.7 J of modified epoxy. For the purpose of comparison,the LVI properties of composites at room temperature (RT) are also investigated.It is noted that the energy absorption capacity is not higher at cryogenictemperatures than that at RT for the modified and neat epoxy composites.Moreover, the peak contact forces are reduced in low-temperature conditions.
