Abstract
Glass fiber composite laminates have attracted the interest of researchers all over the world due to their have outstanding applications in a lot of industrial fields. Toughness is a very important property in various applications. The current study gives a brief account of the effect of fiber orientation on the toughness of glass fiber composite laminates. Four different layups of stacking sequences [0] 4s, [0,90 ± 45] s, [0,90] 2s, and woven fabric are used. These laminates are manufactured using hand lay-up process technique. It is consisting of glass fiber as reinforcement material and epoxy as resin. Impact damage tolerance in composite laminates structures is a very active research topic. Drop weight impact test is applied to measure the depth of penetration through specimens’ surface, therefore, the effect of fallen load on the topography of the specimen and damage will be noticed. The impact strength is nearly given the same behavior for the four stacking sequences at lower drop velocities, but the woven fabric sample shows a lower penetration depth when the drop velocity increases.
