In this study, the effect of ambient temperatures on the punch shear and low-velocity impact behavior of S2 glass fabric and carbon-kevlar hybrid fabric reinforced epoxy composites was investigated. The quasi-static tests (QST) were performed by using a Universal Shimadzu Tensile Testing Machine with various crosshead speeds. Low-velocity impact (LVI) tests were also carried out by using the CEAST Fractovis Plus impact test machine at different impact energies. Flat-nose impactors with a cylindrical punch diameter of 12.70 mm were mounted to the test machines. Both tests have been carried out at various temperatures. After the experiments, the load-displacement, the absorbed energy-impact energy/crosshead speed and punch shear strength graphs are plotted. From the obtained results it can be said that, in penetration cases of low-velocity impact and quasi-static tests, absorbed energy and punch shear strength values show similar behavior for hybrid carbon-kevlar/epoxy at each temperature except for 80 °C while these values are different from each other for S2 glass/epoxy at all temperatures.

In this study, the influence of size and location of embedded delamination on impact behavior of laminated composite was investigated, experimentally. The specimens were produced as for with and without delamination by vacuum assisted resin infusion molding method (VARIM). CEAST-Fractovis plus impact test machine was used in the experiments. As a result of the experiments, the location of delamination on the impact behavior was seen to be more effective than the size of delamination.
