Résumé:
The increasing development of reinforced composite materials in recent years has provided new alternatives to solve various problems about the need for new materials with
combinations of properties. For such materials we use, we conduct various mechanical tests, such as tensile, compression, bending and mainly impact. For this, specific studies on composite materials, and impact on laminate structures were performed. Through these studies and a survey of state of the art about the project in several of drop impact weight machines, is designed and manufactured a machine to drop impact weight for composites of simple design. The machine has developed a range of impact energy of 20J, and 96J, obtained by varying the mass of the drop impact. One instrumentation system for the acquisition of the impact force and energy absorbed by the specimen was also developed, and an anti rebound electromechanical system. To validate the equipment impact tests were performed by weight loss in composite plates with glass fiber 8, 10, 12 and 14 layers and analyzed the damage caused in the same via image analysis software. From a software video analysis it was possible to calculate the impact velocity and impact energy in the tests and compare with the theoretical method and instrumented.
